Leo is now nearly 6 weeks old... when baby Xavier was this age, he was just starting to smile and reach for toys. What a fun time! As Jay says regarding the first few tough weeks, "They learn to smile just when you really need them to!" It's been neat to look back on Xavier's first-year baby calendar and see what we were doing and when he was reaching little milestones in his first months. So glad I wrote down even little trivial things, because I never would've remembered them in my head!
It's been fun to see how Leo and Xav are different at this young age. Leo has more hair, which is SO fun to nibble, especially when he's riding in the Baby Bjorn :) Xavier did pretty well in the baby swing at this age, but Leo... not so much! Leo also doesn't stay asleep during stroller walks like X did, which doesn't make walks very relaxing for Mommy...
And lots of things seem about the same the second time around... a fair amount of spitting up (lots of my shirts have been victims), lots of fussiness when trying to poop (I blame the Boeding colon), and both boys have beautiful blue eyes :) And one important thing: neither baby boy has/had peed on Mom or Dad at this point! Woo-hoo! (Xavier only sprayed Mommy once or twice in 2 years... not bad!)
We really cherish getting to see more of Leo's personality each day, and we love seeing how loving Xav is toward his brother. We're still not feeling confident enough to travel very far with the little guy, so Wartburg homecoming and Steph's grandma's 90th birthday will be without the Boedings this month. But do stop by and visit if you find yourself in the Des Moines area!
