6 weeks!

How old is baby? 6 weeks!!

Weight? 13.5 pounds

Height? (shrug)

Development:
This week, babies are practicing their grip (it’s not just a reflex anymore) and starting to reach.

Your baby is becoming more expressive; in fact, she may have started practicing facial expressions - a lifetime of likes and dislikes awaits her.

Researchers have found that, all over the world, the amount of hours babies spend crying peaks at 6 weeks. Hang in there!

Is that a fact? The rhythms of your baby's breath and sucking change in response to unfamiliar sounds.


Sleep? He sleeps better than I do for some reason. I’m just not able to sleep well… He’s falling asleep around 9:30-10 and wakes up to eat around 4-4:30 and goes right back to sleep for another 3 hours or so. Not too bad!

Number of Diapers Changed? 446

Best Moment This Week: I was nursing him - he was completely awake and alert and staring at me (he stares a lot.) he pulled away, looked at me and smiled this huge gummy smile, and went back to eating. It was the best thing ever. J

Favorite toy? We’ve progressed in our “Time to play baby” dvd. He loves the scarf. It tickles is face and legs.

Milestones: he has his first beauty mark/freckle/mole whatever you want to call it.

Number of Times the Pediatrician was called? We brought him in on Monday to double check on the congestion. They listened to his chest and everything was just fine.
We cought a glimps of his chart, it said that he's happy and playful. That made me happy! :-)

Mama and Daddy? doing well. Daddy said “he wishes he could help mommy more during the day, she’s a good mommy” I think he’s trying to earn points after the incident on Monday night. LOL we won’t get into it.

I’m doing ok. Finding that there’s not enough time in the day, but learning how to manage. Loving every minute with my little man though. He makes everything worthwhile.

What’s coming up?/Looking forward to next? Halloween with my Jessie!!
