Parenting is such a wonderful experience and we have greatly enjoyed learning about Ben and seeing him become a little person with a real personality, not just a cute newborn who only sleeps, eats, and poops. Things have changed gradually, which has seemed a true blessing for us, so that we can grow right alongside our son. However, in the last week it seems as though a switch has been flipped in Ben. Almost overnite he has gone from this little boy who we knew, to a little boy we have to learn about all over again.
We have been greatly blessed by the fact that he's slept thru the night since about 4 weeks old. He now wakes once, if not twice. He's been eating about 5 oz a feeding, which is on a 3 hour cycle. He now wants 7 or 8 every two hours. His diapers have changed as well, from manageable to "let's flip a coin to see who gets the next one." (I never knew such a little human could make such a huge stink and mess.) It's times like this where one wonders if this is another growth spurt or the next plateau being reached. I guess we'll find out soon since growth spurts generally last about 48-72 hours. At least there's never a dull moment!!! It's quite exciting not knowing what to expect around the next corner.
