We put Trey on his tummy for a little bit every day, and he really doesn't seem to mind it! A lot of the time when he is being held, he pushes his legs against us, so Brian will put his hand against his feet when Trey is on his tummy, and Trey pushes his legs agaisnt it and scoots. It's crazy because he's so little!!

Look how big I am!

4 weeks old!!
Where has the time gone? I can't believe that Trey is already 4 weeks old!! I see Trey every day obviously, so I don't notice how much he has grown as much as other people do, but I am starting to see that he is getting bigger! I can feel that he is gaining weight, because when he is making me hold him my lower back starts to hurt really bad, but I'm slowly starting to see that he is growing lengthwise too. There were a couple of sleepers that he has that we used to have to roll the sleeves up on because they were too long on him, and they haven't had to be rolled up in a long time. There are a few sleepers too that he has that the legs used to be way too long on, but they aren't as long anymore which is good to see too!! I'm glad that he is a growing boy! I hope he grows up to be big and strong! Trey still hasn't gotten on a schedule for feedings at night, but it usually ranges anywhere from 2-3 hours, although last night he was squalling and wanting to eat after 1 hour, so I had to go ahead and feed him again then. I think he's in the middle of another growth spurt, so that's why I feel like he can't make up his mind when he's wanting to eat! I am wanting to get him out of the house some, but with all the snow we have had, and seem to keep getting every couple of days, we haven't been able to do that. I can't wait for it to clear up so that we can take him out to see the world!! Here are a couple of pictures I took of him to show how he's growing!

3 weeks!!
Trey is 3 weeks old today!! I think he is in the midst of a growth spurt, because he is wanting to each closer together than in the past, and he has been a little bit fussier than usual! I read that babies usually go through a growth spurt between 2 and 3 weeks, so that would be right on schedule! We have been trying something new with his sleeping patterns where I have been letting him wake me up when he's ready to eat! Some nights we have had more success with it than others, but I feel like its working well! The bad nights are really bad (only getting about 3 hours of sleep the whole night) and the good nights are better (him waking up every 2-3 hours to eat). There for a little bit, he was waking up about every 3.5 hours, but since then it's about every 2 hours at least that he's wanting to eat!
He is starting to stay awake more during the day, but I feel that a lot of the time, that happens to be in the middle of the night! hahaha! When he is awake, he is alert and we play together on the floor! We have been putting him on his tummy for about 10 or so minutes each day, and he really seems to not mind it at all. He will just lay there, and he tries to push up on his legs (he really starts moving them trying to get them underneath him) and he will hold his head up and turn it from side to side when he's laying down there too! He is getting better about holding his head up, but obviously, we have a ways to go before he can hold it up all the time on his own! But I feel like he is going to do some things ahead of the curve because he just seems to do things before a lot of babies his age. He has been rolling over onto his sides since he was born, and he uses his arms/hands all the time. He loves to hold his own paci in his mouth, and he will swat at your hands when he is fussing and you are trying to give him a paci to calm him down. I will post a video of him on his tummy here in the next day or so for everyone to see how he's doing!
Brian and I love having him here with us, and we can't wait to see him as he continues to grow! I think he is a carbon copy of Brian right now, so it will be interesting to see if he continues to look like Brian or if he will change as he gets older! I'm sure he will change somewhat, but I do think that he will look like Brian when he's older too! I guess I was just able to give him really long fingers and big feet/long toes! haha!

Playtime with Trey on the floor
A little video of playtime on the floor with Trey yesterday afternoon! He was so alert!
2 weeks!!!
Trey is 2 weeks old, and he is a lot of fun!! Even though he sleeps a lot, when he is awake, he is a happy baby!! Yesterday we played on the living room floor for almost 2 hours, and that was nice! He enjoys laying on the floor where he has free reign to roll over on his sides. He kicks his legs and flails his arms around just having a big ole time! We have put him on his tummy for tummy time, and he doesn't mind that either! I think that will be a good thing, but we are going to have to keep putting him on his tummy so that he stays used to it every so often, so that he won't get upset as he gets bigger!
Tonight I am going to start trying something a little different at bed time! I have been waking Trey up to feed him every 3 or so hours, but starting tonight, I am going to just let him wake me up. While it may still be the same kind of time frame, I want him to be able to sleep longer if he wants to. I had been waking him up myself because when he has woken up hungry, he gets so mad about being hungry, that it takes forever to get him to eat, so I was trying to prevent that! We will see what happens with this self-waking for the next several days, and hopefully he will like it!! :) And hopefully he will let Mom sleep a little longer!! haha! Selfish motives, I know!!
Trey had a great 2 week check up, and he doesn't have to go back until his 2 month appointment! He was up over his birth weight which was really exciting!! He hadn't grown any since he was born, which made me a little sad, but I know that he will grow eventually! I was just really excited that he had gained enough weight and had passed his birth weight!!
More to come soon along with more pictures and maybe a couple of videos!!
