Harrison is 5 weeks and 3 days! He stayed an hour and a half with his Mimi today. This was the longest time he and I have been apart. It was all I could do to not give her detailed instructions and call every 10 minutes. I refuse to be "that" mom. She raised 3 fine children on her own, who am I to tell the professional exactly what to do with a baby! They had so fun, they ate together, played, talked, sang, cuddled, checked out the place and Harry took a cat nap! Harry slept all the way home, he had so much fun at Mimi's house!
Harry has really been focusing on different things besides lights lately! He stares at Chad the most, he will follow him across the room with his eyes! He also loves the reflector on his swing.
He is more alert but, still falls asleep during some of his feedings.
Night time is getting a little better but, not like we hope. We are really enforcing the Baby Whisper theory with the cluster and dream feeds. He doesn't cry when he is awake, he grunts and moans. He makes sure we know he is there! The worst time is 3:30am and on, we usually give in and let him sleep with us or Chad takes him to the couch. I have heard of parents putting a little rice cereal in a bottle with breast milk, I just don't know how safe that is. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
My favorite thing he does is BOUNCE! He will lay on the floor and move his legs like he is bouncing! We took a video of it today but, of course I am not good at that high tech stuff!

LOVE the outfit with the car where Harrison's laying on his blanket! Every mom can relate to feeling the need to constantly call - it's good that you took some time for yourself!! I never mixed breast milk with cereal in a bottle so I can't help you there - we did BabyWise - what does the Baby Whisperer suggest?
I could just eat him up in those first two pictures! I miss him so! That's the same blanket and outfit that y'all gave James...I love it! Makes me momentarily ache for James to be a newborn again!
What a great Tuesday! I can't wait to see his bounce! I beat Mimi had a blast today!
Oh, I love those first two pictues! I want hard copies.
