Week 11

Big news! Hayden slept through the night 3 times this week! On Wednesday, we put him to bed around 10:30pm, and I woke up around 3:00am feeling ready to feed him and wondered when he was going to wake up. At around 4:00am I started getting a little worried, but he was doing fine, sound asleep. He woke up around 5:00am! Six and a half hours!!! That's the longest stretch since he was born. I thought it might be just a fluke, but then the next night he slept for 7 hours straight! Unfortunately on Friday night, it didn't go so well--he woke up every 3 hrs. I thought our luck had run out, but last night, he slept another 6 hours straight! We aren't really doing anything different, so I'm not sure what the magic trick is, but I sure hope it continues like this! My only concern is how to keep my breasts from getting so engorged! It's actually hard to sleep!

Another cool milestone is that Hayden is suddenly very fascinated by his hands. He makes a fist and just stares and stares at it! Especially his left fist. Put up your dukes!
But don't go buying him left-handed golf clubs just yet, Grandpa! ;) His right/left-handedness isn't going to be determined until a couple more years! He is also bringing his hands together really well, in almost a "praying" position. This is also considered a developmental milestone. So we've had a great week! What an amazing little boy.

Also, he weighed 15 lbs, 4 oz last Thursday and is looking more and more like a Mini-Me of Daddy everyday!
