We think that Takeshi might be able to recognize us now. Jay makes these funny faces and he laughs (with his cute little gummy grin) and this morning he was crying but when Jay handed him off to me, he looked at me and smiled. Of course, all this can be gas (which he does have a lot of) so we’ll see.

Last week he was doing moderately well at the night sleeping. His first stretch would usually last 4-5 hours. But I think he’s going through a growth spurt now; most of yesterday and now into today, he has not slept for more than 2 hours at a time… and my nipples are killing me — I have to keep checking to make sure they’re still there.

He’s also not as newborn-ish as he used to be. When he was hungry he used to cry and wimper but now he screams and tears roll down face. And he’s still not into tummy time. I try to get him to move but he hates it and just screams and screams and screams.

He still loves his bath time and it’s now part of his nighttime ritual. Hopefully he’ll start to understand that bathtime means that bedtime follows and that he’s supposed to sleep 6 hours so I can get some shut eye. I’m starting to feel like a cat with all these damn naps.

Although our glider and ottoman were scheduled to be delivered on June 3rd, it seems those Canadians got a little ahead of themselves and it will arrive at our house tomorrow morning. I’m glad it’s sooner rather than later but now I’m realizing that it’s probably too big to fit in Takeshi’s room and we’ll most likely have to keep it the master bedroom. I have no idea how we’ll fit it in there but I guess we’ll figure something out.
