It's hard to believe that Kyle has only been alive for less than half the length of my pregnancy. It feels like he's been around forever and our "pre-Kyle" life seems so distant now. And looking back, it's just so amazing how easy things have gotten in such a short time. Just a few months ago, we had to exert sooo much energy just to keep him reasonably content (e.g. singing and dancing around like a lunatic). And that didn't always work! Plus, his nursing challenges and refusal to nap just made everything that much harder.
But now, he's so easy to keep amused. We just rotate from activity to activity and he rarely cries or fusses (unless we let him get overtired). And he now naps regularly and nurses well. And he's just the most smiley little guy :) He does continue to make his scary dragon sound a lot...still not sure what to make of that! The only difficult thing these days is his waking every few hours at night to nurse. But that's just how it is right now and I know he'll outgrow it one of these days.
And even though I'm not obsessing/concerned about his weight gain anymore, we still weigh him every Monday on his weekly birthday...he's up to 16 lbs 14 oz now...closing in on 17!

Jon said he looked like you in this pic - not sure if I see it. It is as cute one, and a different look for him. Such a good little guy!
He is so cute. Those first few weeks and months can be hell. I remember them well. So glad that life is calming down. You 2 are the best parents, actually you 4...Carolyn and John.
