Kid update

Sat, 2006-05-27 23:53 — stephen

Evan began sleeping 8 hours night when he was ten weeks old! What a blessing.

Evan is now seven months old and has been a very easy baby up to this point. He has mastered the roll and can pretty much roll himself anywhere he wants to go. He's starting to get himself up onto his knees. Attempts at crawling seem imminent.

Stephen, who is now 2yrs 7mo old, loves his little brother Evan. Sometimes a little too much.

I owe you some more current pictures. Stay tuned.

Welcome Evan!

Evan was born healthy on Oct 27th 2005 at 2:06am via c-section, after a heroic attempt at a VBAC delivery, including 20 hours of labor! He weighed in at 8lbs 3oz and measured 20in long.

We're pregnant, again!

Glenda is expecting our second baby in November! She's a bit more tired but staying active. She and I will be testing for our orange belts in Okinawan Kenpo Kobudo.

S3 Update

By the end of his ninth month Stephen preferred walking to crawling. Let me tell you, that's early. Lots of bonked heads and falling over. He's also quite the climber. He can climb all the way up the stairs to grandma's house! (While supervised of course.)

Smiles and coos

Stephen started smiling in late October. Well, he would smile from time to time before this but now he smiles on purpose. It's not just gas anymore. He has also started to coo. It's amazing how all of life's cares seem to fade when your child looks at you, smiles and coos.

I've realized some funny things since being a father.

I never thought I'd be excited to see poop. When you've got a gassy child, you get excited just hearing him fart, poop is icing on the cake.

Our pumpkin

A festive outfit. S3 is doing great, he's eating and gaining weight. He grew two inches and gained over one pound in the first two weeks. He weighs over ten pounds now!

I see a pattern

Mon, 2003-10-13 23:32 — stephen

S3 is beginning to show a pattern. Since we've been home, we've been tracking every feeding (time and duration) and diaper change (stool, urine, both). If you had told me I was going to be interested in this stuff, I wouldn't have believed you.

We're finding that he has a two-three hour period in the evening (between 11PM and 3AM) when he is almost inconsolable. We're trying to move that period to the daytime when we have more energy to deal with it. We decided to feed him every three hours no matter what. This should move his long sleep times from the day to the night and thus move the inconsolable period to the daytime or eliminate it all together. We'll let you know how our plan works.

They're back.

Both mommy and S3 are home from the hospital. They were discharged at around 10:00 pm on Oct 10th. S3 is feeding famously and sleeping for 2-3 hours at a time. What a cutey he is. He must be the most beautiful baby in the world! Yeah I know, I'm biased. So let me say that he's the most beautiful baby in our world.

It's a Boy!

He is born!

Stephen A. Moitozo III (S3) was born at 7:51am on Oct 7th weighing in at 7 lbs 15 oz and measuring 20 inches long.

Both mother and son are doing well.

Breached

Mon, 2003-09-01 22:58 — stephen

This child is still breach. Glenda is getting pretty uncomfortable. It's getting harder and harder to find a position that she can stay in. Just when she finds the right position, the baby moves and it's no longer comfortable.

We're getting pretty excited to meet this kid though. We've got the room pretty well set up, we're going to be choosing a doctor for the baby in the next week or so.
