To My Eight Week Old -

Tomorrow you will be eight weeks old!  It's hard to believe and yet at the same time I feel like you've been around forever.  Here are some things that this Mommy has learned about you -

  • You are happiest when you first wake in the morning.  This is when we hang out in bed and you smile and talk.  You are very excited!
  • You eat every two hours, day or night.  You are gaining weight like nobody's business.
  • You are a very good sleeper!  You usually sleep between 8-10 hours a night (waking up for feedings, but going right back to sleep).  You usually nap between 3-6 hours a day. 
  • You love baths, but hate getting dressed afterwards.  You scream as soon as I take off the towel.
  • During baths, you make a fist with your left hand and hold it up to your chin.  Not sure why.
  • You can sleep throught the dogs barking.  Thank goodness, because they do it everytime someone comes over.  And you also don't mind when they lick you. 
  • You love your time with Daddy.  He can soothe you like no other.  You love it when he carries you around the house and describes all of the pictures and art work.  He also sings you songs.
  • You also love time with Grandma.  You usually fall asleep in her arms.
  • Lately, you haven't liked car rides.  But you love the swing.  You always fall asleep in it, even if you just woke from a nap. 
  • You haven't had any injuries or illness (knock on wood).
  • You seem to enjoy going for runs with me.  You always just stare out at the water, usually until you fall asleep.
  • You are a very gassy baby and it makes Mommy and Daddy laugh.
Happy Eight Weeks Gabriel!  Mommy loves you so much!
