So what is life like with Adam (and thus a 2nd kiddo). Adam does 2 very different things from young Nick, first Adam sleeps a lot, like a lot a lot. This is a blessing and we love Adam very much for doing it! The second is not quite as nice, Adam is definitely a spiter-upper while you can count on one hand how many times Nick spit up. Nominally this is no big deal but he does it a lot, like even an hour or two after feeding and thus no protection...
Adam is still at the jello stage but he is having longer periods of awake time and much more interested in his surroundings. He enjoys his tummy time more then Nick did and of course loves to be held and talked to. On outings he zonks out and pretty much stays that way unless it is feeding time (even if we want him to be awake).
At night we have had a successful 9pm to 6:30am sleep (two nights ago). It was odd because I woke up at 6:30 to him waking up and I couldn't remember feeding him around 3:30 (his normal wake up), this was of course because I didn't, yea team.
Nick does an extremely good job with Adam. He always wants to help and hold "his baby brother" and helps feed him occasionally. Nick is very gentle with Adam. It is pretty adorable when Adam is crying Nick will come over and pat Adam and tell him, "it's okay Adam". He also gives Adam a hug and a kiss every night at bedtime.
How very adorable.
Happy Baby
