1. To eat. "Normal" is to eat every 3 hours. Rudy eats every 1-2 hours. I have gotten lucky the last couple nights and he has had a couple rounds of waiting 3 hours (which is great because it gives me about 2 hours of sleep in a row). And every time he nurses, he eats for about 40-60 minutes. I don't mind, though. It is nice to have that time with him and it relaxes me too. And he makes the funniest faces when he is just done eating. He cracks me up.
2. His vibrating chair. That chair is a miracle worker. Rudy can sit in it forever. He can sit in it wide-eyed and so relaxed or to fall asleep. Not to mention how easy it is for us to carry around. When we are eating dinner, we sit it on the table with us. When we are upstairs, we put in between us in the bed. When we are in the living room, it sits on the ottoman. It's great for when he isn't all the way sleepy to be put in his bassinet, but we want to be able to do other stuff (like update this blog!)
3. His dad. See earlier post.
4. Company. Rudy doesn't like to miss out on anything already! It seems like whenever we have a lot of company over, he doesn't like to sleep through any of it. He will eventually, of course, but he holds out as long as possible. He likes people. He does really well with others holding him and getting tossed around. Which is all very good because with families like ours, he had better get used to it!
5. Being read to.
Rudy dislikes...
1. Having to wait more than 2 seconds to eat. When he wants it, he wants it immediately!
2. Baths. But you can't blame him. Its so cold! Speaking of, here is a picture of his bath at home...not a very happy looking face!
Not so sure about...
1. Rufus. Rufus has been doing better with Rudy each day. At first he wanted to jump at him any chance he got. Any time he came around him, his tail started wagging and he got really worked up/excited. Now he knows he can come around, but doesn't try and jump. He does try to lick him all the time. Rudy isn't sure about that. One of these days those boys are going to be best friends, but we are still warming them up to each other.
I knew Rudy was a people person from his first pictures, he always was looking at whoever was holding him! Jenn, you are lucky if he can go three hours between feedings...my kids were more like every 2. Jimmy felt like he nursed 3 months straight before he got filled up and started looking around! You guys look good!
