On being the baby

Well, it's rough being a baby. Sometimes my tummy hurts and no one does anything, no matter how many times I try to tell them. I really need to figure out how to tell them so they will understand. Sometimes they get it right, but not always.

I think I am finally at a point where I don't mind sleep by myself in my bassinet. I slept there almost all of last night. I like to stay awake for several hours during the day to watch everything. I got to watch TV last night. Lots of colors. That was interesting.

I'm outgrowing my newborn clothes and diapers now so I am going to have to start wearing bgger clothes. I don't really think I NEED clothes, but I guess it's Big People rules. I get really hot sometimes, so I don't always like clothes.

I peed on Mommy yesterday. I haven't been able to get her as much lately, but I saw my chance and took it. I got Daddy a few days ago and everyone thought that was really funny!

Me

I'm awake more now. I like to watch what's going on.

I think I almost have Mommy trained. I like to sleep with her holding me, but she's got to sit up for me to eat. I don't know why it's taken so long.

I like to snack fopr an hour or two at a time, them watch everything for another hour, then nap for 3 or 4 hours. I can sleep longer now, so I have to make up for it by being awake longer the rest of the time.

2 week well baby

I am well! The dr said so. I weigh 8 lbs 8 ozs and am almost 22 inches long. I am in the 50 - 75 percentile in all areas. That's good, right?

I am sleeping a little longer between feedings now, but I am also awake for an hour or two. Not every time, but once or twice during the day. here is a lot to see and I don't want to miss it.

Mommy has been trying to get me to swallow some nasty stuff. She says it's vitaminhs and the dr says it's good for me, hut I am not sure anything that nasty tasting can be good for me.

I got to spend a couple of hours with Miss La La last night. It was nice she cuddled me and fed me a little. Mostly, I liked the cuddling.

13 days old

I am doing well. I eat all of the time, so I think it helps. Mommy and I slept in this morning. I like to be able to touch her when I am sleeping. I don't like the bassinet. But she keeps putting me in it. I'll teach her sooner or later. I get to go see the doctor on Friday. Yea! I don't think they will poke me this time, which makes me really happy.

Went to the Dr

They poked my heel and then squeezed! It HURT! That wasn't very nice of them. They said I am doing well. I weigh more now than I did when I was born which is REALLY good. No jaundice, so that's good too.
