My mom left on the day that Cutler was 2 weeks old. Bring on real life!! Mason came back that day also, so Ronnee had her friend back and was a happy camper.
We had a 2 week checkup and Cutler is already weighing 9lbs 11oz! At his 3 day check up he was at 8lbs 6oz so he is a good little eater for sure! Ronnee gained like this at the beginning but I am hoping he continues because I love how chunky he is!
My little man that was an awesome sleeper in the hospital is still an okay sleeper but loves to be awake in the weee hours of the morning. It makes for a very tired mommy the next day because my daughter is a night owl. He was a morning kid in the womb but I was hoping when he was born that he would not be! So we are thinking that Ronnee was a better sleeper at this age then he is. He sleeps for 3 to 3.5 hours his first stretch at night and then wakes up every 2 hours after that. And when he wakes he thinks he is starving and eats like a champ. During the day he sleeps a lot but still wakes every 2 or 3 hours starving. I hoping that he can start sleeping longer for me at night but for now I will continue feeding this little pig when ever he thinks he is hungry! I should add that he sleeps in his pack n play which is huge for us because as you all know Ronnee slept with us. And he can self sooth which is so nice. He very rarely falls asleep while nursing!
We also started giving him a bottle of pumped milk every day. Tyler loves feeding him and insisted that this kid was going to take a bottle because Ronnee never would. So far he loves the bottle and nursing so I guess it is working!
I love this picture… Ronnee is such a funny girl. Every time we give Cutler a bath she thinks she needs to get in with him. Glad she has a small butt so she can sit in his tub with him. Cutler really loves bath time, he gets so relaxed. But I am not sure if he like his sister taking his space from him and splashing!
Good luck Cutler she is your sister for life!
