8 weeks!!

How old is baby? 8 weeks!!

Weight? 14 pounds 11 ounces

Height? not sure

Development:
By now, many babies are able to swipe at objects with their hands and kick at them with their feet.

A lot of things are changing for your baby; this may make her fussy for a week or two and in need of lots of comfort.

As a newborn, your baby grabbed instinctively. Now he’s losing that reflex - and is starting to be able to hold things placed in his (now mostly open!) hands.

Is that a fact? Your infant has twice as much light, REM sleep as you do.


Sleep? Still good! He did start waking up again to eat but I think that’s because he’s sick.

Number of Diapers Changed? 579

Best Moment This Week: Being with him and Ella together for Halloween.

Milestones: He’s growing out of his size one diapers. Well, technically he already has… we’re just trying to use them up. His first holiday. His first virus! My poor baby.

Number of Times the Pediatrician was called? once. Today - we went to the doctor because he hasn’t stopped crying (inconsolable) since we got home. Turns out he has a virus. Stomatitis. It should clear up in a few days but until then, he’s miserable.

Mama and Daddy? I’m hanging in. It’s been a rough couple of days. I have barely been able to eat because I’m trying to get him to stop crying. Continually rocking him and nursing him.
