Davis and I had a fantastic time at Yoga..we managed to participate in almost the whole class today! He has such a great time watching all the other babies (and himself in the mirror). I tried to capture a picture just before class started when he was smiling, but I missed it. I got a pretty fun one anyway (this picture also demonstrates the thumb between the first two finger thing that he pretty much does all the time). At the maternity store, I weighed him for the first time in a couple of weeks and the big guy is 11lbs 6oz! I took a picture of him in his stroller with his 'concerned' face, but it shows off his chubby cheeks!
A new development is that Davis does not want to nap during the day anymore. I spent most of yesterday trying to put him down for his morning nap, finally I just took him for a walk at 1pm (clearly, not a morning nap at that point), and he fell asleep and slept for 3.5hours! A similar thing happened today, he wouldn't sleep until I took him for a walk and then he only napped for a half hour, but he was still happy for yoga and then he had a great nap afterwards when I went out to lunch with other moms (our yoga class is getting really fun now that I know most of the women and their babies). I just don't understand how a 7-week old can possibly get by with an hour nap in an 8.5 hour window. I guess the good news is his sleep schedule is definitely starting to show a separation between day and night. Although he wakes up a lot at night he can mostly be put back to sleep. The bad news is having to walk him means I don't get to nap at the same time, but the good news is it gives me lots of time to call and talk to people I've been meaning to call for a while! Luckily, as he's awake longer, his attention span for playing by himself is increasing too. Below is a picture of him on his play mat where he was looking really intensely at the whale. I swear he was trying to figure out how to make it move or to grab it...of course, I've been known to overanalyze and read too much into things.
And now it's time for me to head to bed! John watched Davis while I went on a women's ride (the same one I've helped lead for the last couple of years). They have four different speed groups and although I figured I would be in over my head, I went with the second group (versus the slowest group) thinking that I would get home faster (even if I got dropped). I haven't hurt like that for a long time. I got dropped, many times. I bonked even. Tonight I think all of us will sleep well (fingers crossed).
