Fuzzhead

Seamus has a lot of hair. After his bath it gets curly when I dry it with a towel. It's the funniest thing. But it will dry straight. Here's a picture to give you a laugh.

He's doing well.  At 10 weeks we went to the doctor for his well visit.  He's 23 3/4 inches long (70th %) and 12lbs 4 oz (40th%).  The weight doesn't show much increase from two weeks prior, but the weights were taken on two different scales.  I am not at all concerned. Oh, and his head is 80th%.  Maybe they measured that hair.

Also, we started sleep training him last night. It went pretty well. I put him down awake and let him cry for 3 minutes. I went in and comforted him without picking him up, left, and then let him cry for 5 minutes. I comforted him, and let him cry for 7. That was it. He fell asleep. He woke up again at 9pm and we started again. He also woke up at 11:30pm, which is unusual for him. I nursed him and put him down asleep. He woke again at 4:20am and I nursed him. At 5:30am he was up and crying, so I set the timer for 3 minutes. He fell asleep during the 5 minute span. Tonight, we did the 3 and 5 minutes. He fell asleep after 2 of the 7 minute span. We'll see how the rest of the night goes.

*update* Seamus slept from 8:20 pm until 2:25am. I nursed him and put him down. He slept until 6:30am. It was a great night. Oh, and we ditched the swaddle and are using a sleep sack.

Colin's hair used to do this, and it's super curly now. He is adorable!!
