One step forward, one step back

Sigh. Well, all that sleep progress that Erik did last week is out the window! Here's a picture of me trying to get Erik to fall asleep. Notice his open eyes.

I tried to measure and weigh him today and I think he's 23 1/2 inches long and weighs just a couple ounces shy of 12 lbs. Next week he has a doctor visit so I suppose I'll find out better data then. He will be getting a lot of shots so I'm sure he'll be fussy for a while. Goodbye sanity!

I can no longer wear the "mother and child" necklace that Joe gave me, because Erik now grabs things! He will hold my finger or my shirt as he nurses as if it's the only thing keeping him tethered to the earth.

He just woke from his nap. More later!
