Getting in the Groove

After a delayed start, we're getting in a good groove. Beau is eating and sleeping on a normal schedule - usually eating every three hours and sleeping very well. Since we couldn't nurse for the first week, we've had some catching up to do in that department. He's gotten so much better in the last two days, so we're pretty much off the bottles. He seemed especially happy after one particular meal . . . wonder what I ate that he enjoyed so much . . .
The boys got to spend some brother time this evening, and it was so cute. Linc brought his books in to be near Beau, I guess. He occasionally offered him the pacifier or stopped reading to yell something in Beau's ear. You know when you're trying to talk to someone who doesn't speak English, and you yell? That's how Linc talks to Beau!!! Anyway, I'm glad they got to hang out a little.

Beau had his first "regular" pediatrician visit today. Since Dr. K hadn't even gotten to meet him in the hospital, we went to get checked out at his office. Beau got a clean bill of health, and Mommy was assured that he's a perfectly normal kid. We also picked up Linc from school today, so we needed to wash off any potential germs picked up from the busy day. (Seriously, where are there more germs than a pediatrician's office and a preschool?!?!) Beau did great during his first bath and shampoo. I told Linc that Beau was going to get a bath after we finished his. He thought for a moment and then told me that Beau could use his Abby Cadabby toothbrush. What a great brother!!!!! I told him Beau would like that very much!
