I used to wake up that often to pee, but not to eat. I found last night though if I give him just a small bottle after he breastfeeds, he will sleep for 4 hours or so. He is slightly underweight, so he needs the extra anyways.

They always loose some weight after they are born.. It's normal. And although there is a target that doctors like to see, as long as he's healthy I wouldn't worry too much about his weight. So long as he's eating well and crapping and burping like he should he'll be fine. Don't let the crying get you down.. that's pretty much the extent of their vocabulary for right now. Pretty soon he'll learn how to laugh, and then the next thing they learn is "Hey dad, can I have the car keys?" Enjoy him as a baby now, because in an eyeblink he's going to be a father of his own.

I find myself agreeing with Destroyer again. At least he is healthy and not collicky or something. All that will pass in a little while.

He was 10 days early which I know also is part of why he is so light, be he isn't really small, and he is one strong baby. He's got stuff going in one end, and flying out the other, so that part is good. And he already has a little laugh every once in awhile. And the chances of him getting the BURB keys are slim to none, the wifes car will be fair game.

You are gonna be a great dad Ferman. Something tells me he is gonna have a bunch of toys to practice his driving skills before he gets the keys to the car. The baby's job is to eat sleep crap and cry for a little while but when he starts to talking and walking, that is when the real fun begins...

I guess it would be bad form to try and haul you off on another Scallop Expedition at this point. (I know the answer, BUT it is the last weekend for 2012)..

You have no idea how BAD I want to go, but right now theres no way I could. I've got a vette out in the shop that needs alot of work, several more people waiting in line, and not to mention all of teh workload that Patrick has added. I'll have to catch yeah next year to go. I need to give you a call about some wood, but I got some other work I have to get done today so I will try and call you tommorrow.
