8 weeks

8 weeks old

Calvin was 8 weeks old on Monday and his 2 month birthday is coming up soon.  Cupcakes for everyone... except Calvin.  Sorry buddy.

This little punk has been spitting up with more regularity and I have yet to pick up on the new habit, which means I haven't started carrying a burp cloth around like a security blanket.  So I've been puked on a few times in the last week.  I'll catch on.

We have been very lax in baby sleep training and I'm afraid we will pay the price at some point.  He loves movement and really has a hard time going to sleep if his torso is not being swayed or bounced or patted.  As a result, he naps in the swing and is often put to "bed" in the swing as well.  As a last resort the past few days I've let him sleep at night with me.  I'm not against co-sleeping, but after a day full of baby I don't really want to sleep with him.  I love him but I want my own space.  However I also love sleep so in the bed he goes for a blissful 3-4 hour nap.

We need to train him to sleep in his crib, but I'm a bit lazy about it.  I did it once.  It meant that I had to sit next to the crib for about 30 minutes with my hand on his chest.  

this nap lasted 2 minutes after I put him down

The swing is so much easier...

And some other pics from the week...
