The Early Bird Needs Extra Coffee

Dear 8am,
 
You and I have become close as late. I have even been cheating on you with my sometimes enemy 4am. I am not a morning person. Having a baby makes me have to be a morning person.  It was great in the beginning when he would sleep until nine or 930 every morning. Over the last few weeks his schedule has changed and now he is up when daddy gets up at 7am. If I am lucky I can con him into spending another half hour to an hour in bed with me. This morning... Not so much. 720 begin the "I want to get out of bed now please mom " Followed by 730 "get me out of this bed now mom." Thanks to a wonderful invention and the greatest necessity, coffee, I am functioning.  Even more thanks to our Keurig. Best decision ever to get that before the baby was born, you don't need a functioning brain to work that machine. So far this morning we have FaceTimed Mimi, fed the baby, let him play in his exerciser while I made coffee and enjoyed half of it, fed him his breakfast, watched him devour a ton of puffs and butternut squash, given him some juice, and now we are playing. Or rather he is playing and I am supervising. 

This is way later after his nap. And actually during his second nap.. I am claiming sleep cuddles and don't want to put him in his crib. This is the only time he ever cuddles me.

What's new baby wise. We are now fully into solids, and puffs. He still gets all the breast milk and what I pump, but three times a day he gets food food. This however is causing a ton of constipation issues. He is struggling and struggling  to poop. And when it comes out its hard:( the ped told us its normal for breasted babies to struggle to adjust and constipation is normal. But if he doesn't go tomorrow I am calling to go in because its not ok. Poor lamb, we have been having to stimulate his poop each time to get him to go. It's really frustrating and I am worried about him. 

And last but not least. The kicker. He will be HelmetBoy pretty soon. :( :( :(
