So Seth is only 13 days old now?!!?!?!?!!? Actually he's going for his first doctor appointment today so I'm sure there will be a blog about that later. He was supposed to go Monday but he has some kind of yellow gunk in his right eye and it's a little swollen so...here we go with doctor visits! I don't mind at all though. I don't mind anything the little guy does at this point!
And how could I mind, he is truly a wonderful baby. We have fussy times during the day - usually after 4pm til around bedtime, but we'll take it! The first 2 days home Seth slept in his pack n play at the end of our bed. We didn't get much sleep those nights. The 3rd night we put him in his bed and he slept from about 10pm - 3am and then til around 6 or so. That went on for quite a few nights. Then he started going to bed around 11pm and not getting up until 4am and then sleeping til 7am. I put him down one last time after that in his bed and he sleeps til around 10 or 11am. So I can get stuff done in the morning. Slowly that 4am wake up time has gotten later, it was 5am, then 6am, now...today...he slept from 11:30pm til 7am!!! Only 13 days old! We're so excited that he sleeps so good through the night. Some people thing it's a little strange we put him to bed so late, but when I go back to work I want to be able to nurse him for his last feeding before bed and I won't get home until 9:30 usually. Now, if he stays sleeping til 7am I'll be able to get up in the morning for work earlier than him, get showered and ready and then just worry about getting him fed and packed up to go to the babysitter! This little man is really spoiling us...but we're so proud of him!
He's a strong little guy too - he's holding his head up and looking around alot, and yesterday was turning his head toward voices. He's so amazing, and we're so blessed to have such a well behaved child! Well, at least well behaved for now!!!

Oh my gosh! I think you've got a child prodigy on your hands. Sleeping through the night, and already holding up his head? I'm amazed. That's so awesome.
I'm so glad that things are going so well. Of course, there will be challenges down the road, but they really aren't that bad. It's worth every second! (It's the teenage years I'm worried about!)
