He&#8217;s grown so much in four weeks. He&#8217;s gaining weight at the right rate (after fixing his tongue issue) and his little personality is starting to come through.<\/p>\n<p>At around 3 weeks he started smiling! And not just the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BEhvD7IQECz\/?taken-by=lisaeirene\">baby-has-gas kind of smiles<\/a>. These were real smiles whenever I&#8217;d interact with him and make faces and funny noises. It was so cool to see him start smiling! At first it was a little timid and then he got used to smiling and gives\u00a0us big goofy smiles. My heart melts when he smiles!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-49937 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_0996-e1461345654964-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0996\" width=\"695\" height=\"927\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_0996-e1461345654964-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_0996-e1461345654964-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-49938\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1096-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1096\" width=\"695\" height=\"695\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1096-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1096-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1096-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1096-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1096-96x96.jpg 96w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1096-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1096-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1096-48x48.jpg 48w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1096-64x64.jpg 64w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_1096.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t wait to see what he learns to do next. I love seeing little babies grow and learn new things. He&#8217;s already outgrown his newborn sized clothes and is in some 3 month sized outfits. He&#8217;s not too chubby yet but he&#8217;s long so some of the 3 month sized clothes fit in length but are a little baggy still.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-49939\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_0998-e1461345694631-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0998\" width=\"695\" height=\"927\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_0998-e1461345694631-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_0998-e1461345694631-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In some ways it feels like Logan was always here with us. I can&#8217;t really picture my life without him. Our life has changed in so many ways in such a short period of time but it feels right.<\/p>\n<p>We are slowly figuring out how to make things work for us.<\/p>\n<p>I admit, I wasn&#8217;t sleeping well those first few weeks. It was getting pretty bad. Logan sleeps in a bassinet next to my side of the bed and I wasn&#8217;t sleeping very well. I was so sleep deprived&#8211;and not just from waking up to feed him. I think it was like &#8220;mom radar&#8221; or something because every single peep, squeak, sigh, snort he would make in his sleep would wake me up instantly. On the flip side, when he STOPPED making those noises I&#8217;d wake up instantly, too. So a few times a week Michael sleeps on the couch with Logan in the bassinet next to him so I can get some sleep. That first night he did that I was really upset and opposed to it but I slept so good and woke up feeling much better, so now we do it once or twice a week so I can get caught up a bit on my sleep.<\/p>\n<p>The other thing that works is Michael giving me a head start on sleep. If I go to bed first and get a chance to fall asleep, I can usually sleep alright once the two of them come to bed. Generally speaking Logan sleeps pretty well at night. It&#8217;s those little noises he makes that wake me up! He usually doesn&#8217;t start getting fussy until the 4-5am feeding shift.<\/p>\n<p>Breastfeeding is going much, much better. I feel better about it and more than half the time we try to do it, Logan does really well. He still has moments where he&#8217;s just too fussy and frustrated to successfully do it. I don&#8217;t mind too much giving him a bottle of my breast milk now and it&#8217;s actually kind of nice and convenient because Michael helps with feeding (especially at night time and first thing in the morning) with is a huge relief for me.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-49964\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_0960-833x1024.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_0960\" width=\"695\" height=\"854\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_0960-833x1024.jpg 833w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_0960-244x300.jpg 244w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/IMG_0960-768x944.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BEbr9SzQEL5\/?taken-by=lisaeirene\">Tummy time<\/a> is iffy.
