The Eric Temperment

Eric is the hold me, love me, feed me--NOW kind-of-baby. He hasn't cried much until the last day or two. He DOES NOT like silicone pacifiers. He'd prefer the boob (all the time) and latex is the next option--IF he's well fed. He weighs 8 1/2 pounds now. He's gaining really well. He's also fairly strong. We've had fun watching him roll his little body over a couple times. He hasn't done it much since.
He'll sleep pretty well now IF he's right next to me. I've only been able to get him to sleep in the bassinet for an hour and a half each night. Otherwise, he fuses and fuses (and now cries) unless he is sleeping next to me. He's starting to allude to a "nap if you hold me" attitude. Hopefully, he's not sick.

Ryan was diagnosed with bronchitis yesterday. He's home from work today. He sounds horrible, and I've been worried about Eric. I'm starting to show signs of the illness for the second time. HOPEFULLY, I am making antibodies that Eric is getting through the milk.

With Ryan sick and Eric demanding nearly all of my time, the Christmas decorating has been left to Luke and Suzanne. Right now, all our stockings are handing on our Christmas tree. Luke felt that was the most appropriate place for them.

Well, Eric isn't letting me type much now.
