Picture Time and Advice Needed

Today we pick up Kadin's Christmas pictures - well they aren't all Christmas pictures. I cannot tell you how excited I am to see them. Now just so everyone knows these will not be put on the site until after Xmas. We just want everyone to see them for the first time during the holidays. Trust me...they are worth the wait. :)

Well a few updates. I don't know if people can tell when they look into the gallery how big Kadin is but it's unbelievable. He has grown so much and continues to. I put a t-shirt on him today that we bought about a month ago. Its a 6-9 month shirt. And it just fits. As in, it probably won't after Xmas. OH well.....I don't know if I wrote it before but when we had his shots done he was 15 lbs and 2 oz. That was umm...two weeks ago I think. Keep in mind of course that Kadin will be 11 weeks this coming Monday.

Hasan and I got a few gifts for Kadin last night. One is a musical gym that goes from being a floor toy to being a stand up one. And with that we received a free crib activity centre. Pretty cool.

Oh and I bought Hasan an XBox for his birthday. Its not until next week - on the 4th - but we were there so I said what the hell.

Ummm I think that's about it for now. Oh wait here is something I would like for people to comment on..as in give advice.

Kadin still wakes at night for a feeding. Depending on what time he goes to sleep he will wake after 6 hours (sometimes sooner) regardless for a feeding. I have tried weening him with the water/formula mix but if 6 hours have passed he is way too hungry for that to be satisfying. Many people have told Hasan and I that at 12 weeks he can sleep 8-10 hours without waking for a feeding. However he may wake because he is simply thirsty.

Any suggestions everyone?
