Chance is already 6 weeks old! In some ways it has flown by, and in other ways it feels like it's been forever. I've started a post several times, but I usually only get a sentence or two before I'm needed. After Bentley goes to bed Chance has his fussy time and even showering isn't as important as sleep. Thankfully though Chance is a great sleeper. I was really worried since Bentley was such a good sleeper (up until about 7 months old). Most people say the 2nd child is the opposite of the first. Bentley on the other hand has not been sleeping very good. I'll blame it on the 5:30 sunrise. At 6 weeks our home scale says Chance is 14 lb. I haven't measure his length lately, but 2 weeks ago he was 23 1/4 in. He loves to eat and will not take a bottle or a pacifier. I'm desperately trying to find a bottle he will take. I'm not coordinated enough to nurse without the boppy. He is awake more and more every day. He has given me a few smiles, but I had to work really hard for them.
Bentley is a great big brother. He loves to give Chance kisses and says "my Chance" when he wants to hold him. The only jealousy behaviors I have noticed is him being more clingy and preferring daddy when he is home.
I'm going to try to write out Chance's birth story in the next few days so I don't forget it. I wish I had wrote Bentley's down because I can't remember certain details two and half years later.
After my shower the other night I came downstairs to find this:
