Dear Baby,
Two weeks old already! You had your checkup today, and the doctor is really happy with your progress ... except you need to stop falling asleep during feedings so you'll gain more weight. Mommy tries to tickle your feet to keep you awake, but you are happy to snooze and suckle absentmindedly at the breast. Sounds you make that make us smile: Little hunger grunts and bird coos. Faces you make that make us smile: the little "vampiro" look you get when you are aggressive about eating, the "Blue Steel" pursuing of the lips when you are tired of being burped.
Yesterday was my birthday, and I was so pleased to spend it with my little family. We had a scoop of ice cream at Baskin Robbins to celebrate. You are staying awake for longer intervals, and we can't wait to get to know you even better. You already have a ton of personality. Oh, and you're super strong. You head-butt us easily, and you'll have no problems learning to walk with those strong legs.
Xoxo,
Mommy
P.S. Sorry for the lack of posts lately. Busy tending to baby and lack of sleep, you understand. I hope to get back to our regularly scheduled programming ASAP.
He is too precious!! How wonderful! So happy for you, and I love that you write here for your little baby :)
ReplyDeleteA. sounds just like Devan! We were constantly tickling him. He'd fall asleep before burning & wake up very unhappy, burp, and promptly fall back asleep!
