Three weeks old

Calvin is three weeks old and is still a very tired little baby.  He sleeps off and on all day and does pretty good at night too (not quite as good as he did the first week).  He gives us anywhere from 2.5-4 hours of sleep between feedings.  For some reason his last night feeding (typically between 4:30-5:30) is hard to get him back to sleep afterwards.  He's super gassy (I think from being swaddled all night) and does a lot of grunting, tooting, and whining.  I usually end up just bringing him to bed with me until Caleb gets up at 7:00.  A lot of mornings Calvin goes back to his cradle then and sleeps until 8:00.  Evenings are going better...that is still the hardest time to get Calvin to sleep, but he doesn't do the hour of screaming every night, just about every other!

I think he had a bit of a growth spurt this past week as there were a couple of days he wanted to eat every 1.5 hours.  He's 9 lbs 6 ozs now!  Three month clothes are huge on him so he wears the same few sleepers and outfits over and over again.  It's fun to see him in Caleb's old clothes.
