Looking back at my posts since Declan was born it appears I have not been that great about that whole "document all the moments" thing. Once every two months? That seems to be my speed.
So here we are 6 months with this beautiful little boy who, as every person under the sun likes to let me know, is the spitting image of his dad. Less than an hour after a natural delivery that saw no more than 7 minutes between water breaking and baby screaming, nurses and everyone who visited felt the need to share how much this precious new baby, THAT I GREW, looked like Mike. But I'm getting off topic here....
The last 6 months have been an amazing ride and as much as I love snuggling with a newborn, these last few weeks are my favorite so far. He's really interacting with us and is interested in what everyone is doing around him. He loves interacting with the other kids at daycare and gets a great big smile when he sees Mike and I the first time after work. He's a bit stingy with his laughs but Garrett seems to drawl them out the easiest by acting like a nutcase; jumping around and making crazy sounds.
His sleep has been, well, nothing to complain about or write home about. Around 9-10 weeks he was sleeping most nights from 8 until 1 or 2 in the morning, sometimes even longer. Then we hit the 4 month sleep regression. I don't remember it with Garrett but the struggle is real people. So for about a month we were back to feeding every 3 hours and it was brutal in every sense of the word. Then we were getting that long stretch again for a while before these pesky teeth made their presence known. So we're playing the waiting game and just hoping they rupture soon so we can start working with Declan to get him sleeping through the night.
