Lucien has almost made it one full month. It is week four - the week we discovered the pacifier. It barely fits in his little mouth but it definitely helps his late night sucking tendencies and pacifies Mom and Dad's nerves. We have started to see a routine forming with Baby Lucien but the feedings are still every 3 hours. Dad has been helping now tremendously with feeding him by bottle whenever Mom needs a couple more hours of sleep. We had another visitor this week - Aunt T. She was a natural with the baby and helped Mom and Pau Pau get some time off of baby duty. Lucien especially loved his time with Aunt T. when he spit up all over the place like something out of the Exorcist. We noticed big changes with Lucien during Aunt T.'s visit. Besides his constant weight gain he is now tracking objects with his eyes. He reacts to voices and will gaze at more objects like his safari mobile.
Sunday we took Lucien out for his first walk around the neighborhood. The bumpy road really put him at ease and made me think that we should take these walks at midnight. About half a mile from the house he started to feel hungry so we rushed back to the sanctuary of home.
Mom is doing well. I went for her doctor's visit and her health is back to normal. Most of the baby weight has shed right off leaving only 10 lbs. to work on to get back to my pre-baby weight.
