routine schmoutine

lastnight we were supposed to begin a bedtime routine with rhys. instead, we visited with aunt cassie :-) it kind of worked out, because he slept in her arms for hours, and when we finally went to bed (around 3 a.m.), he transitioned to his bassinet without incident. the thing is, he has this habit of making these crazy animal-like sounds when he is asleep, and c and i both jumped up to check his breathing. he was fine.

about 1/2 hour later, the jig was up. the kid was wet and he was ravenous. so, i took him to his nursery, changed him and then fed him. he ate about 3 oz, and was back asleep. once again he transitioned back to his bassinet quite easily. i was up about six times to check to make sure that he was ok. around 5:30 a.m., it was time to do our little diaper and bottle song and dance again. he ate 2 oz, and was still hungry, so we had to wake mama up to help us out (i thought that 5 oz would get us through the night... especially since our night began after 3 a.m.).

speaking of eating alot, rhys no longer fits into his newborn t-shirts and onesies. the 0-3 months fit pretty well, but the 3 month sizes are still a bit too big. i guess he's in that "in-between" stage ;-) c and i were a bit weepy that our boy is growing up so fast; however we are loving how expressive and curious he is becoming :-)
