The First Two Weeks

Cameron Grant Riser arrived two weeks ago today.  Born January 12, 2013 at 5:19 am 8 pounds 13 ounces 22 inches long.  He left the hospital weighing 8 pounds 5 ounces,  four days after birth he was 8 pounds 11 ounces, and  twelve days after birth he weighed 9 pounds 11 ounces!!  I have been very busy, but luckily not at night :)    Cameron eats every 2-3 hours in the day, starting at 7am.  Between 5pm and 10 pm I let him cluster feed to store up for the night.  He goes to bed for the night between 9 and 10 pm and sleeps a six hour stretch. 
He is a calm and observant baby.  He cries only during baths, when it's time to eat, and when his sister hits him in the head.  He sleeps a total of 20 hours a day with three distinct wake times.  One in the morning, afternoon, and night.  I try very hard to follow the Eat, Play, Sleep pattern during the day, although he prefers to sleep through some of his "play".  Right now I'd say we have a pattern to our day vs. a schedule.  It is predictable and I like that.


Here's a peek into the first two weeks:
