Daddy is my adjustable chair. He adjusts to my comfort needs. I don’t have to pull any levers or anything. I just kind of wiggle and squirm and he moves to match my position. Then I let him know when I’m comfy. Once we find that sweet spot we are all happy.

A ball
I have a ball. I’m not really sure what I’m supposed to do with it. I assume that it goes in my mouth. Let me try. Nope, that’s not it. Give me some time. I’ll figure this out in a couple of months or so.
1 month old (+3 days)
Mommy and Daddy bought this really cool gauze blanket to commemorate every month of my first year. With our busy schedule the past few days, they forgot to take my picture with it when I turned 1 month three days ago. Better late than never. They had fun taking pictures of me on the gauzeContinue reading “1 month old (+3 days)”
Serious Eats
I attribute my healthy weight gain and growth to Mommy’s nutritious breast milk and my diligent eating habits. I take nursing very seriously. This is no joking matter. When it is time to eat I am very adamant and let Mommy know that I’m hungry. Then I focus on eating, not distracted by anything. NoticeContinue reading “Serious Eats”
Size perception
All the data I have says that I’m a big baby. Not in a bad sense. I’m just objectively a large baby based on weight and length. But every so often I look really small. Usually it is when I’m curled into a ball on Daddy’s chest. But then when I am in Mommy’s armsContinue reading “Size perception”
Don’t disturb the baby
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 andContinue reading “Don’t disturb the baby”
Digesting
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 burpingContinue reading “Digesting”
Dancing Music
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 movesContinue reading “Dancing Music”
Relaxing music
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 orContinue reading “Relaxing music”
Tracking
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 toContinue reading “Tracking”
Top heavy
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.

Watching me sleep
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 showContinue reading “Watching me sleep”
Very deep sleep
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.
Lack of neck control
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 givesContinue reading “Lack of neck control”
Speaking of growing
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.
1 month check up
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 IContinue reading “1 month check up”
Night & Day
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 oneContinue reading “Night & Day”
Cheeks vs. Gravity
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.
Tummy time: Turtle freeze
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 forContinue reading “Tummy time: Turtle freeze”
