getting to know Micah
Micah is officially two weeks old and I have learned so much about him!
1. Every day he looks more and more like his Daddy :)
2. He loves to cuddle - he sleeps great at night but for some reason during the day he just wants to be held.
3. He smacks his lips when he is hungry.
4. He loves to be papoosed (swaddled). Our pediatrician called it papoose and I love that word...I call him my little papoose sometimes :)
5. He loves the glider. Last night he wouldn't calm down and I took him upstairs to the glider and sang to him to sleep. I love being a mom!
6. He got himself on a schedule...he eats every 2 1/2 - 3 hours during the day and every 4 hours at night! Praise the Lord! I have actually had 3 hour blocks of sleep which most people say is unheard of in the first 2 weeks of a newborn's life. Believe me, he came like that...it is nothing I have done. lol
7. He has very prominent birth marks on his forehead, eyelids, and the back of his neck called "stork bites". The pediatrician in the hospital told me it would go away in a few days, which is not true... our pediatrician said it could last up to two years, so we shall see. The one on his forehead as you can see is in the shape of a V. We joke it is for Victory!
8. He snores if he is not lying flat (in his swing, bouncer, or being held)...I plan on talking to the doctor about this on Monday.
9. He doesn't like to be changed...he pretty much cries every time. We haven't given him his first bath and I am hoping he will like it but I am fully prepared for him to scream the whole time.
10. He is already a ladies' man! We finally got to meet his twin cousins - Ariana (left) and Lyla (right).
Watch out! He may be a biter! Lyla doesn't seem to mind though :)
