8 weeks old
Well ... he's 8 weeks old today. It seems like yesterday we were bringing him home from the hospital.
At 8 weeks ...
He is smiling more and more and we are learning how to get him to smile. Tickling the corner of his mouth often works, lots of Charles' funny animal noises do the trick, and just catching him at the right moment (after he's been fed and taken a nap).
He is noticing more of his surroundings and loves looking out windows.
He loves his bouncy seat and has figured out that by kicking his legs he can make the toys that hang overhead move. He's particularly fond of the zebra :)
He is more vocal and makes lots of noises.
He studies your mouth when you talk to him, and you can tell he's trying to figure out how to do it himself.
His playtimes are longer and his naptimes are shorter. He still takes 4 naps a day, but he's awake for about 1.5 hours and then naps for about 1.5 hours.
He is still sleeping good at night, from about 11:30 until 5:30 or 6:00, so no complaints there.
We are transitioning him from his Moses basket to his crib (which he does not like, by the way). But he's such a big boy that he's not going to last much longer in the basket.
He gets excited and happy when Charles comes home from work. It's easy to get smiles out of him then.
He likes riding in his stoller, going for walks, and riding in his sling. If he's tired and nothing else works I can put him in his sling and he's out within a few minutes. I try not to use it for that too often though, don't want to establish any bad habits.
He went with us to Sunday school for the first time and did fine. He got fussy for a few minutes, but then fell asleep and slept for the rest of the lesson.
He's changing so fast and getting so big. It's amazing how quickly the time goes by.
