Four weeks have gone by fast! Adam is back to work full time now and Finneas and I have been very lazy, but very fun. We don't do that much, mostly talk in monosyllabic nonsense and cuddle. He's smiling more and even making the first efforts at what we think might be a laugh - or at least a genuine giggle. Cloth diapers are still easy, and I believe they contain and leak in the same circumstances that disposables would. For all you doubters out there - I don't see what the big deal is, really. We're still trying to figure our sleeping 'tactics' out. Okay, so we really don't have any for Finneas yet. Some sources that I've read suggest not implementing any routine for the first three months and other's recommend putting baby on a sleep schedule pronto. Considering life with a newborn is like waking up to a different baby everyday - I think, at least for Finneas, we are going to see if he settles into any habits on his own before we try to regiment his sleeping. Sleep conditioning just seems impossible at this point. We are also considering the use of a pacifier to settle him down at night. So I put one in his moth today, just to see what he would do. He gave me the stink eye and then, with a giant sigh he opened his mouth relegating the binky to the carpet floor with a few drops of disapproving drool. Busted.
