Chapman Family Blog: One month down! 215 more to go!

One month has gone by in a flash (although the first two weeks felt like they would never end) and a few things have changed for the better. Hunter is loving bath time these days...the first few baths after he lost his belly booger (umbilical cord) were absolute scream fests! But now he gets all relaxed and just lays back with his head in the water enjoying it like anyone enjoys a nice warm bath (video to come).

I went back to work when Hunter was 2 weeks old....starting the night before I went back and throughout my entire first week back, he completely got off his normal 3 hour schedule and was waking up 3 and 4 times a night. Now this did not bother me much (since he was moved to the nursery the night before I went back to work) but it drove Emily crazy! After Emily's long week of baby duty during the night, when Friday came it was my turn. Somehow I got him on a end of the night double bottle schedule that first night and he had 6 oz of milk in a 3 hour timeframe right before bed. That night, Friday night, my first duty night in a week, he slept until 7:30AM.....when I finally went in and woke him up because i was tired of laying in bed waiting for him to cry. From that night on, (with the exception of a few cranky evenings) he has slept till at least 5:30AM! On the bad side of changes...our little baby has been dubbed by his mommy to be a George Costanza look-a-like! In the past week he has lost all his hair in a big horse shoe shape on the top of his head!!! But all the rest is still there dark and full as ever.
