Caleb is 22 Weeks Old!

22 Weeks
Caleb Patrick is 22 Weeks Old!
Age: 22 Weeks
Weight: 18 lbs 8 oz
Clothing Size: 3-6 months and 6-9 months
Diaper Size: Pampers Cruisers Size 3
Feeding Schedule: 6 - 8 x's per day

Caleb's sleep continued to be pretty crappy all week - he would wake and eat twice a night. On Monday (Labor Day Holiday) he was fairly fussy and both Sunday and Monday night he was difficult to get to sleep. In addition to the fussiness, he had a fever both Friday and Saturday. I originally attibuted the fever to shots but it got up to 102.8 on Saturday so I thought something might be up. I made him an appointment for Tuesday after work and my gut was right - Caleb had his first ear infection. We were given a Rx for antibiotics and he seems to be feeling better.

At daycare on Thursday, Caleb's teachers mentioned he'd been napping really well in his crib...on his TUMMY. I decided maybe they were on to something so went ahead and stuck him on his tummy at bedtime Thursday night. He fussed a minute or two, then found his fingers to suck and passed out. He then proceed to sleep ALL night - 10.5 hours. Amazing! We'll see if this was another of his one time flukes or if tummy sleeping was the secret to sleeping through the night.

Caleb is still doing very well with baby food. We tried butternut squash this week and will be adding prunes next week.
