We traveled North to see Mikey one afternoon last week. He is four weeks old today, according to his sweet Mama he eats, sleeps, poops, pees and keeps her busy. He weighs about ten pounds now. He is almost out of newborn clothing and into the 0-3 months size. Maddies says she thinks his legs are scrunched in the newborn size.
Hey Mikey you are 26 days old!
Far Guy and I both held him…he was a little fussy. I put some socks on him and wrapped him up in a warm fuzzy blanket, he had the last ounce of a bottle, I was rewarded with a huge burp and he fell asleep. In his sleep he smiled, but of course I didn’t get that on camera.
It has been my experience over the years that a warm baby is a happy sleepy baby. With Jennifer I warmed her bassinet with a heating pad before I put her down to sleep. I often used those old fashioned kimonos that had flaps on the sleeve so that you could cover up their fingers. Socks were a must. I know it is summer but babies just have a hard time regulating their body temperature if they are warm they stay warm but if they are cold they stay cold and cranky.
Looking at his Great Grandpa!

What fun to snuggle with this tiny baby boy. Such a precious gift from God.
So precious. And obviously you haven't lost your touch!
ReplyDeleteHe is perfect! Good advice about keeping them warm!
ReplyDeleteHe is such a sweet looking little boy. Nothing in this world beats holding a little baby and getting to snuggle with them. Have a great weekend and thanks for sharing pictures of Mikey with us.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the entire family on this precious new arrival. There's nothing more beautiful than a sleeping baby!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweetheart, and your pictures make me want to snuggle with him, too. :-)
ReplyDeleteA beautiful baby boy! So glad you get to enjoy him..
ReplyDeleteSo sweet.
ReplyDeleteHe is a beautiful baby! You remind me of how mama used to be. I can just hear her saying, I wish you would put a little blanket around the baby and cover his little feet up. Of course, she was right. I like to see them snuggled up too.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet!
ReplyDeleteBabies can't tell us what the problem is, but a Grandma who's tuned in can sense what the problem is.
ReplyDeleteHe is a real sweetheart. Great grandsons are really neat to have, I suspect.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweetie pie!! Babies are such a blessing. :)
ReplyDeleteIn England, and probably a lot of other European countries, babies were bundled up and put outside to nap in their pram. I did the same with my kids. Obviously not in freezing cold temperatures, but definitely in everything above that. Used to put mine under the overhang of the camper, so they were protected from the sun or rain, and where I could see the pram from the house. They napped very well!
ReplyDeleteThat four weeks has passed fast for the little cutie!
Ten pounds of sweetness!!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet. Great grandmothers know what they are doing when it comes to babies. I like warm feet too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a precious gift. I know you treasure each minute spent cuddling him.
ReplyDeleteHe's beautiful and a true treasure!
ReplyDeleteThe picture looks like he's just daring someone to come closer so he can wind up that little fist and give them a punch! LOL! What a cutie he is and what a great Great Grandmother you are. He also seems to be pretty fascinated with his Great Grandpa too.
