4 weeks old!


I am 4 weeks old today! These 4 weeks have flown by (probably because I was asleep for 75% of it).

Skills I have mastered:
I can lift my head up while laying on my belly and change it from side to side depending on how I want to lay at that moment.
I can follow objects all around my vision area.

Stuff I am working on:
Smiling! Its about half and half now between smiling because I am farting and smiling because I enjoy what I am doing with mommy or daddy.
I am working on getting my thumb or whole fist into my mouth so I can suck on it. Getting my arms to do what I want in general would be nice.

Likes: Going for walks and rides in the car are still my favorite. I like to be held and now on my walks I like to face outwards so I can look at things. I love to eat - I started at 10ml/feeding when I was born to now eating 100-120ml every 2-4 hours easy.

Dislikes: Gas! My tummy hurts sometimes, but luckily I am only fussy for a short time when this happens. Apparently I don't like it when mommy eats onions - it makes her milk taste weird!




Cant wait to see what the next 4 weeks brings!

Tell mom to say away from garlic and plankton.

Sounds like all that tummy time is paying off!

Please tell me that Baby Johnston is only 19.5" and not 29.5". Because I just can't imagine 2.5 feet of baby in poor Heather.
