7 Weeks Old

Landon is 7 weeks old today, and he is growing like a weed! Literally, I swear during week 5 he grew into a toddler...he is so long - torso, legs, & arms...guess he is growing into his hands and feet! By the way the kid never fit into any of his newborn shoes, they were all too small!!! He has started cooing and smiling at mom and dad.

I got mastitis in both breasts, which kept me in the bed with fever for a few days. We had to transition to formula after 5 weeks, and although Landon wasn't happy about it at first, he is getting used to it now and is eating like a little piglet again!

Believe it or not Landon started sleeping through the night at 5 weeks and hasn't looked back. He sleeps for about 7 hours, we feed him, change him, and he sleeps for another 3-5 hours! I am dead serious! I am loving life now that I feel human again.

Wow! I can't believe he's that old already! I'm glad he's a good sleeper...and eater :) I had to switch Noah to formula at 5 weeks too. I actually started suplementing with formula then, but it wasn't long after that the that's all he took. I had a really difficult time nursing. His suction was so strong and he was latching on correctly, but he'd still draw blood! It hurts me to even think about it!

The time sure has flown by hasn't it.
Landon is such a little cutie pie....and soo active. That is EXACTLY like you were as a baby. Always moving about and into everything. heh You better get him in sports at an early age.
