I was chatting with Grandma and Grandpa on FaceTime, as we do once or twice a week, and I was showing off my beautiful smiles. I have been smiling a lot lately. I’m like a smile sniper sometimes. We may not be doing anything particularly special, and then I’ll flash Mommy and Daddy a coupleContinue reading “Bunch of smiles for Grandma and Grandpa”

Another Nitori ad opportunity
Nitori, I’m waiting for your people to call my people about a modeling gig. My price is quite reasonable and I accept breast milk as payment.
Play mat
You’ve seen my new play mat, but you may not have seen me play on my play mat yet. That’s because I still haven’t worked out how to play yet. I can move a lot. I can accidentally touch toys with my arms and hands. But “play”, not yet. One thing I do really wellContinue reading “Play mat”
Mat time with Mommy
I really like my new play mat. It is a great place just to lounge and relax. It is also big enough for Mommy or Daddy to join me. We have a chat, play a bit, and read some books.
Double eyelids
Sometimes when I’m tired or after I cry, I get double eyelids. Other times, they just kind of appear. I don’t know about you, but Mommy and Daddy think the double eyelids make my eyes look “prettier”. I’m not sure about “prettier” but they sure do pop!
N Cool
We went shopping today and got me a cool-to-the-touch baby mat from Nitori’s N Cool line. It will help me beat the summer heat. It looks really comfortable, doesn’t it? Don’t I look like one of those babies from the advertisement shots? Hey, Nitori, if you are looking for another baby model, give me aContinue reading “N Cool”
2% Weight Gain
Oh my god! I can’t believe it! This can’t be true. It must be a mistake. I gained weight again! I am now 6120 g (13.5 lbs)! I went from 6000 g to 6120 g in four days. That is a 2% weight gain. Sure, 120 g weight gain may not sound like much, butContinue reading “2% Weight Gain”
Tummy Time: Checking me out
Tummy time can be a chore for us babies. It feels strange and is not as comfortable as being on our backs. Also, it is quite a workout. But, now that I have this handy mirror to check myself out in, I don’t mind the workout as much. I can actually see my progress. IContinue reading “Tummy Time: Checking me out”
Not ready to wake up
I take some really good naps. Sometimes my naps are better than my sleep at night. To make sure I can sleep at night and that I am fed at the right time, Mommy and Daddy sometimes have to urge me to wake up from my naps during the day. But sometimes I am justContinue reading “Not ready to wake up”
Temporary Swaddle
Swaddling still doesn’t really work for me. It lasts for a bit, and it helps me to slip into a deeper sleep, which is good. But soon, I burst free from its bonds, able to flail my arms and legs again. I must admit, though, it can be comforting for a while. Maybe I’ll giveContinue reading “Temporary Swaddle”
Cleavage
The weather is getting to be hotter and hotter, so sometimes I ditch my outer layer of clothes and just lounge around in my inner garments. I didn’t realize that in certain positions they can be revealing and somewhat provocative. It looks like I have a bit of cleavage there. Well, if you got it,Continue reading “Cleavage”
Books, Stroller, & Sling
Late this afternoon Daddy read a lot of books to me. I like reading books, but I’m not quite sure if I understand the stories yet. I think I like the bright colors and pictures. I definitely like Daddy’s reading voice. After that I was feeling kind of restless, so Daddy and I went outContinue reading “Books, Stroller, & Sling”
Mommy running errands
Mommy had to run some errands today, so I stayed home with Daddy. We chatted a bit, changed some diapers, and just had some nice quality time together. We spent a lot of time outside, just relaxing. The weather was nice and the fresh air soothes me. I was getting a bit sleepy so heContinue reading “Mommy running errands”
DJ
Now that I’m more than 6 weeks old, I thought that it was about time I thought about my future. One possible career is being a DJ. I love music, and I think I have a knack for great music choices. (Hooked on a Feeling is my jam!). DJing looks pretty easy. I think IContinue reading “DJ”
Sneezes and smiles
Recently, it has become obvious that I can see much more clearly. I’m following movement more and studying faces. When I look at Mommy and Daddy I am really seeing them, not just blurry images. And when I see them, I am happy and smile! Look forward to more smiling pictures of me!
Sleep, take me!
Not ready for sleep
Time for bed, but I’m not quite ready for sleep yet.
Drained Mommy
Poor Mommy. Not only is it tough to raise a newborn baby, but I am literally sucking the energy out of her. I don’t know how she does it. There is only one explanation: she is a SuperMommy! It is amazing. She hasn’t been able to sleep more than 3 hours at a time forContinue reading “Drained Mommy”
Nursing Gears
Did you know that I have different gears when nursing? It’s true. Some times I am relaxed and take my time, and other times I guzzle as much as I can as quick as I can. You can hear it in the way I suckle. Mommy often has to tell me to calm down andContinue reading “Nursing Gears”
Great night
Following that rough night I had last night, I was surprised by the great night I had last night. Mommy and Daddy stuck to their strategy and tried to make sure I was up as much as possible during the day. They didn’t force me to stay awake or anything, but they made sure theyContinue reading “Great night”
