Maintaining the Status Quo

Not much new on the Dane front. He's still doing pretty well. Sleeping only about 2 1/2 hours at a stretch overnight (eating every 4 hours, takes about an hour to eat and get burped then immediately falls asleep and wakes up about 1/2 hour prior to his next feeding), so we are really tired. We have began putting a little extra formula in his bottle for some of the nighttime meals which adds a bit more "bang for the buck" and helps him sleep a bit harder / longer. Larissa doesn't sleep as hard as I do, so she is waking up whenever he makes a squeak and is getting even less sleep than I am. She is, however, getting better at napping - something she's never been able to do in the past. Dane got another bath yesterday (in the sink this time), which he clearly was very excited about.

We are also hoping that he is getting a bit more "regular" with his bowel movements. Seems like he is going every other day (on his own) right now.

Lastly, it is BEAUTIFUL outside today! Larissa and I have been trying to get out of the house more so that we don't get stir crazy. We aren't sure when Dane will be ready to go outside, so we have been alternating working out outside. I went for a great bike ride today (first of the season on the road bike!) then Larissa went for a walk/jog when I got home (she still hasn't been officially "cleared" for exercise involving impact). We are considering seeing if we can fit Dane securely in the stroller because we would love to go out for a walk as a full family.
