Good boy, bad girl

Cannon was a good boy last night. He ate around 9:15 pm and then went to bed and slept until 4:30 am, ate, and went back to sleep until 8:10 am! I had actually gone to bed at 10:30, so I got a good night's sleep too.

Blue, on the other hand, was a bad girl. I was on the computer this morning while Cannon was napping. Blue, I had thought, was napping too. I came out to find that she had chewed up two of Cannon's board books. They are made with the idea that babies will mouth them, not puppies!


That is a very guilt look!

Cannon is now 6 weeks old and getting big! Yesterday, I put away all his newborn clothes. His size 3 month clothes fit him perfect, which means he doesn't have much longer to wear them. I have also put him in 3-6 months clothes. I am surprised at what fits him. It looks so big on the hanger, but it ends up fitting him. Cannon is also more alert and awake more during the day. We have a pretty good routine going for us. He loves to looks at faces and will study the faces of new people. He is smiling more and is a little more interactive. We play patty-cake and he likes for me to stretch his arms high. Ryan blows raspberries on his belly and sometimes he will smile for that. I discovered today that he likes it when I kiss the corner of his mouth. He gave me big smiles for that! It's funny because that's where Ryan likes to be kissed (he says it tickles). Also today, Cannon stopped crying to look at a toy when I shook it. He was on his play mat when he started to fuss a little. I shook this lady bug toy that has beads in it and he immediately stopped crying and started to look at the toy. He followed it with his eyes and head when I moved it to the other side.

On Tuesday I had my 6 week postpartum check-up. Everything looks good and I only have 10 more pounds to lose until I get to my pre-pregnancy weight. I am not doing any official exercising, but I try to stay busy during the day and we try to go for walks. The other night we took a family walk. This was the first time I put Cannon in the stroller without the carseat. I laid the seat down, but he got mad. I think he thought I was trying to put him to sleep. Ryan carried him half way and then I put him back in the stroller, this time sitting up a bit (which he liked much more). He likes to look around and see everything.
