Today I am six weeks old.  Since I am still too small yet to blog on my own, I’ve asked my Mom to write this for me.  I’ve learned a lot and thought I’d share a few little tid bits with those of you that are interested:

• I sleep, eat and poop every three to four hours.   When I was first born the doctor didn’t think I was gaining enough weight so Mom has had to feed me Similac Neosure to put on the pounds, well maybe ounces.  Now, I’ve got little chubby legs in the works and meat on my tushy so everyone should be happy.
• I like to sleep in my bouncy seat but the swing and I aren’t that compatible.  Maybe I take after mom and dad and get a little motion sick at times….or maybe I just need to grow into it.
• I have developed a healthy set of lungs that can be heard throughout the house when I need to get some attention.  How Daddy manages to sleep through my occasional ranting and raving is beyond me.
• My mom has a routine down pat but sometimes I like to be a little high maintenance and have her hold me a lot at night so I fall asleep.  I know I’m keeping her awake but I love being close to her.  Looking at her in the eyes I know she enjoys our private snuggle time too.
• I love when my Daddy comes home and first thing he says when he walks in is ‘hello family’.  We are a cute little family filled with love so it’s no surprise he loves coming home to us.  Plus Mommy still manages to cook some nights so that’s an added bonus.
• One of my favorite activities is staring at the Dave Matthews Band posters in our living room (coincidence on the name - I’m not so sure…I need to ask Daddy about that one when I can talk).
• I’m getting really strong and love when Daddy puts me on my chest and I try to crawl upwards.  I some times manage to make a few little strides.  I also love when Daddy tickles my tummy and makes funny noises.  I know he’s still learning the ropes and doesn’t like dirty diapers so I’ve spared him the task of making a poop when Mommy is out but I think I need to orient him very soon.
• I love listening to Mommy talk to me and show me things although I have not yet made sense of what she is saying.
• I’m a big fan of my Fisher Price bath tub….I love when Mommy is washing me and I can look in the mirror and wonder ‘who is that cute baby’?
• I’ve developed baby acne and have some very dry skin on my face but mom switched to Aveeno Baby Creamy Wash and Cetaphil to help cure the problem.  It’s only been a day or so but already it seems much better.
• I have the best sets of grandparents and great grandparents who spoil me with love and affection, not to mention clothes and toys.  I have a crib in each of their houses so I can sleep like the ‘little prince’ I am when I get tired.
• I have quite the little wardrobe already.  Just like Daddy I love clothes so its only appropriate that I have myself all decked out in Ralph Lauren a lot.
• And the last thing I’ve learned is that my Mommy and Daddy love me to pieces and can’t stop kissing and hugging me.  I’m really lucky to have them - I think I’ll keep them :)
