Anybody who has had to deal with a crying baby understands the peace and quiet of a sleeping baby. Everyone ends up tiptoeing around the baby as not to wake it up. I don’t often wake up from loud noises, but will wake up if my sleeping position is changed. This means that Mommy and […]
Mommy and Daddy noticed that I have recently been making a lot of grunting noises and have been flailing my arms and legs a lot after being fed. I also have a slightly uncomfortable face of concentration. At first they thought I was uncomfortable because I needed to burp. (I am not good at burping
You know how I mentioned that dance and pop music relaxes me? It does, but some other times I don’t want to relax and I just gotta dance! Okay, you may have noticed that I’m not really dancing on my own. Daddy helped me dance, but I did add a lot of my own moves
Some babies like lullabies or classical music to relax them and put them to sleep. I’m not like those babies. For me, relaxing and calming music is upbeat music. If I’m fussy, I like oldies music to calm me down. Mommy or Daddy dance and sway to the rhythm and I usually stop crying or
They say that newborn babies can only see up to about 8 to 10 inches, and everything beyond that is a blur. That sounds about right. When I’m held I often stare into the eyes of the person holding me. But beyond that I can’t really make things out. I can turn my head to
My biggest problem with tummy time still seems to be that I’m top heavy. My arms aren’t strong enough to support me and my legs are pushing me forward, so I kind of do a lot of face plants. It is not the most pleasant of experiences.
Mommy and Daddy just can’t get enough of me. Not only are they fawning all over me during all waking hours, but they can’t even leave me alone when I’m sleeping. I mean what can be so interesting about me sleeping? Is it even worth taking a video? Hold on…Daddy says he wants to show
When I fall asleep in Mommy or Daddy’s arms, it is a very deep sleep. I mean REALLY deep sleep. Look how limp I am when sleeping.
Thanks to all my tummy time, my neck has been getting stronger every day. I can hold my head up for longer periods. But the problem is not strength, but control. When I hold my head up it is not always stable and my head can sometimes flop around a bit. Also my control gives
In my last post, I mentioned how much I grew in a month. I wasn’t only talking about my weight and length. Look at my eyebrows and eyelashes. They are becoming very distinguished.
Mommy and I had our 1 month check up today. Everything is A-OK! Even though I’ve only been out a few times, I’m getting used to it. I was very good during the car ride to the hospital and I was very patient in the waiting room. Mommy had her check up first so I
The days go by so fast that they are like a blur. Everything gets mixed together that I am not really aware of what happened when. Especially when my day is a blend of deja vu experiences where I’m sure I just did this or that. These pictures were taken 12 hours apart. The one
Big mushy cheeks look really cute on babies, but sometimes they don’t hold up well against gravity and then we end up looking really old. When I sit up I feel like it looks as if I aged a few decades.
I’m getting used to tummy time and am getting a pretty good workout. Sure, sometimes I just lie there and do nothing. Other times I try to lift my head up and end up smashing my face into the floor. But most of the time I do pretty good at holding my head up for
As you already know, I love being held. But I realize that I cannot be held all the time. So I try to give Mommy and Daddy a reprieve every so often. I usually eat one of my dinners before them so I tend to be in a good mood for a while. I often
My first shrine visit was a great success and I was on my best behavior. These past two days I have been doing really well at behaving myself at new places and in front of new people. I was even good during the car ride. I kind of hit my limit the last ten minutes
I went for my first shrine visit today at Umi Hachimangu. It is a very famous place for babies’ Omiyamairi because of the name. The location, Umi, is written 宇美, and is a homophone for 産ã¿, which means “birth”. So it is a famous place for pregnant women to go to pray for the safe
With all the excitement and bustle of my photo shoot, my normal daily routine was thrown off. It was my first time going out and meeting new people. And it was a completely different environment and situation for me. I was a very good boy and behaved really well! Mommy and Daddy were very proud
Sometimes when I rest on Daddy’s chest I squirm my way into a comfortable position. That can be the cradle of his arm or his arm nook. Yes, that’s right, “arm nook”. Well, I don’t like the sound of “armpit”, so I choose to call it his “arm nook”. Anyway, it is really comfortable and
