7 Weeks

No sleeping in for me today. Sometimes he lets me sleep until 7:30-8:00 and it is wonderful. This morning he decided that he would rather go back to sleep on me than in his crib. Harrison is a fantastic sleeper, I feel completely spoiled. He is down to just waking up once a night, and Matt gets a full night sleep every night.

He's also been a lot less fussy since I cut dairy from my diet. No more cheese and milk for me, but I much prefer having a happy baby so it's not that big of a deal.

I've heard so many baby mantras before: "It goes by so fast!" Or "it completely changes your life" or "Your life will be turned upside down"

Yes, my life is different, that's obvious. But it doesn't feel completely new or upside down. Maybe it's because Matt and I were already "stay in" and mellow kind of people. Or maybe it's because I prepared myself for many of the changes. But it feels right. And time, so far, also feels right. He's already 11lbs, but the last two months have felt like the last two months. Anywho, just my brain going over the many things I have been told about having a baby.

Harrison is still practicing his smiles. We get a few true ones a week. Yesterday I got smiles and coos and had a 30 second "conversation" before his brow furrowed and he was irritated by something (probably poo). He also smiled at Matt, it was really sweet. Harrison then proceeded to stare in the mirror above his swing and smile at himself. "The other baby smiles back at me!"

Do you ever have the thought, when a plane flies overhead, that it could come crashing down on your house? Just me? #random
