I can carry him!

Yesterday Frost was allowed to carry Wren (supervised) for the first time. He was very proud and excited. It was allowed because he pointed out that he had only held Wren 3 times since he was born and we all agreed that it was not enough.

I said he could hold him every day from now on as long as a grownup was there.


This is the picture of Wren at 14 weeks. He is about 16lbs and has nice plump thighs. His eyes are still blue but a dark and speckled blue that could easily change color.



Wren has been crying a lot today because every single nap has been interupted. I finally nursed and put him down half an hour ago and he is still sleeping - a record. I have vowed to let Wren remain at home tomorrow (made easier by having no car). Today, I did carpool, groceries, yoga, fetched Frost and took them to the dentist. Wren cried on every car trip I made until my nerves were shot and he was exhausted enough to fall asleep (only to be woken when we arrived somewhere.)

I should mention that he has been sleeping VERY well at night. Last night he slept for 6 and a half hours without waking (he has done this one other night this week.) I am still having trouble sleeping soundly but I am sure my sleep will improve when Wren sleeps for longer periods on a regular basis.

Frost was late for his dentist's appointment so we have to go back for his sealants but he had his bitewing X-rays and there are no cavities. However, he has an overbite that is being made worse by sucking so mimi has to be 'given away to someone who needs it' according to the dental hygienist. Dr Sata said that Frost will be referred to the orthodontist when he is 7 or 8 to look at ways of resolving his bite. Ugh. I hope we have dental insurance by then.
