A City Life For Me

  {One Month} Sleeping 5-6 hours at night and fussing when not being held! Thankfully there are five little sets of hands waiting to hold him at all times! Trying very hard to hold his head up alone. {Six Weeks} Peter Tobias, or PT as we are calling him, is {six weeks} old! He’s starting to smile and wake up with happy sounds and coos instead of screaming! He’s falling into a sleep pattern and giving me about six hours of rest at a time (!), and he loves the bath like big sister Liberty. He’s definitely a spoiled youngest child with no shortage of hands begging to hold him all the time! {Two Months} This big guy is {only} two months old! He’s eating and sleeping like a champ. He likes bright, noisy toys and being entertained by his siblings. He smiles at Mommy and Daddy the most. {Three Months} Peter is three months old! Loves music and being held; is teething and drooling everywhere; can coo and “sing” and belly laugh. Lov...

Overall I don't think we will be a permanent Keto family, mostly because whole food groups are eliminated.  God gaves us the fruit of the trees for food too, but very few fruits are Keto-friendl...
