We have been home now for 18 days and Berik is finally on somewhat of a sleeping schedule. Whew...we were begining to wonder if he was ever going to get his days and nights switched around. We broke down and let him sleep with us for a few nights which was great for him but for us?? He is now in his own bed and sleeping better but still wakes up at least 2 times per night. Thanks to Gerber.com I now have a feeding plan which seems to work out great!! I never could tell how much was too much and he won't let you know as he would eat until he blew up. He loves his new highchair and is experimenting with finger foods a bit.

Berik went to see his babysitter, Kathy, for a couple of hours for the last two days and seems to love it!! She has been babysitting for 30 years and has glowing recommendations, which makes me feel good. One of the other babies there has nicknamed him already and calls him "little man". I think she is confused? He weighed 24lbs on 1-7-07 and there is no telling how much he weighs now.
We went to Alabama to see Jaimies mom and daughter, Jessi. We had a really good visit and they loved all over Berik. We arrived on Sat. and left on Mon. so really short visit but good time for all of us. We hope to get Jessi to Texas during Spring Break as we sure missed her at Christmas.

My babyshower is on Feb. 17 and I can hardly wait!!
