6 Weeks Old!

How old: 6 weeks, 1 day

Hart's weight: 10.8 lbs

Sleep: Hart is still doing great with sleep! He's transitioned to 5 hours stretches at night. He sleeps from 10-3, and then eats and goes back to sleep until it's time to take Jon to work. We normally have to wake him up to leave. This weekend, he slept in 5.5 hour stretches!

Highs: The best part of the week was when Dustin, Lauren, and Genevieve babysat Hart for us to go out for dinner (Modern Market) and dessert/drinks (Breckenridge Brewery). We were gone for 3 hours, and it was the perfect stretch of time to be gone for. We did look at videos and pictures of Hart while we were eating dessert, but it was so fun to be out just us two! 

And then this morning, Logan and Linda babysat so we could go to the Alamo Drafthouse and see Beauty and the Beast. It was great, and we got delicious food and a boozy milkshake. 

Lows: I went out with Grace and Stephanie for dinner on Thursday while Jon watched Hart, and Hart had an extremely fussy night :( He has those occasionally, and it's nice to have two people so you can pass him off for a few minutes. Poor Jon had to deal with it the whole time I was gone. He was a trooper about it though.

Visitors: We had tons of visitors these past few weeks, and did a lot of fun things!

My family: My whole family came out for Easter and to meet/see Hart and it was great! It was really fun seeing Lauren, Dustin, and Genevieve meet Hart for the first time. My favorite day was Easter! We slept through church unfortunately, but met up with my family at Seasons 52 for brunch. It was delicious with bottomless mimosas and dessert and all! After, everyone came over to our apartment and we watched Moana and relaxed all day. Logan and Linda picked up pizzas from Whole Foods that were great, and we all drank beer and hung out. It was very relaxed, which I love.

Stephanie: My dear friend Stephanie visited for the weekend, and it was so great to see her in person. We chat often, but there's just nothing like face-to-face chit chat for hours on end. Stephanie spent the whole day Thursday with Hart and me and then we got some dinner with Grace. I'm so thankful she spent her time visiting us. Next stop, Houston! :)

Eating: Hart is still eating great! He eats 3 hours at a time, and we'll soon transition to 3.5 hours as he eats more at each feeding. He takes a 4 ounce bottle at night to help the feeding process speed up a bit!

Milestones: We've got a smiler! I was asking Jon why babies don't come out knowing how to smile because it makes you bond with them instantly! Hart smiles at funny noises, faces, Happy, and even blank walls. Nothing is too good for a Hart smile. 

Looking forward to: I'm contemplating chopping off my hair! Every time I cut my hair, I regret it and this is the longest my hair has ever been. However, it's hard to manage and Hart has recently taken to grabbing fistfuls of it. I have an image in my head of having long beautiful curly hair, but mine usually just looks like it needs a trim. It might be time to give up the dream and embrace the mom bob!

Hart LOVES walks. He likes to look around the whole time. 

He does not, on the other hand, like baths :(
