Henry went through a major growth spurt this week - eating constantly. He'd eat until he spit up and then eat some more. He spits up after almost every full feeding but he doesn't seem to be in any pain when he does it. It's almost like his stomach just gets so full the food comes right out his mouth. So, I don't think it's reflux. Just an immature digestive system.
He continues to be a pretty lousy night sleeper. The longest stretch of sleep he's done (at night or during the day) is three hours. Our "typical" night has him (and me) going to bed between 10:30 and 11. He sleeps until around 1:30 or so and then eats for 15 to 20 minutes and is back to sleep by 2. Then he's up again between three and four. This feeding is hit or miss. Sometimes he eats quickly and goes right back to sleep. Sometimes he's up for an hour or more. Once he's back to sleep, he usually gets up about an hour later. And then he goes down for a three hour nap which takes us to about 8:30. I usually get up after his last feeding to start getting some work done. It's exhausting and I'm hoping we can get some more sleep soon.
Here are the pictures from this week, including an action shot of him spitting out his pacifier. Still no smiles this week. Hopefully soon. This tired mama needs a real smile from her baby boy.
