Weeks Four to Eight

Paul's Second Month

Adventures this month: 

Week five:  Home for Swiss Days!  Took a bottle for Aunt Kim while out to eat.  Met Uncle Mark, Aunt Lana, Addelyn, and Eleanor for the first time.

Week six:  Adamantly refused the bottle.  Stinker. 

Wellness Visit Stats at six weeks:  9 lbs 4 oz (18%), 22 in (55%), Head 37.9cm (55%)

Week seven:  You started to giggle.  It is so cute, and we keep trying to get it on video.  You made the move to your nursery from our room.  I hear every little sound you make.

Week eight:  Two month vaccines…you only cried for a minute, and were smiling soon after.  So very brave.

Wellness Visit Stats at eight weeks:  10 lbs 5 oz, 22.75 in

You are a good sleeper.  You usually do a long stretch starting around eight pm, and you sleep 7 or 8 hours. 

You don’t like to be cuddled lying in our arms sidewise (the traditional way to hold a baby).  You like to be up and down or out in front of us.  You love to look out and see the world around you.

You don’t mind belly time, but you would rather chew on your hands then work on lifting your head.

You really like to bounce up and down on your legs and can hold your weight.  You think it is so funny.

You talk and coo at us, and give big smiles.  We love that you have already started to giggle.

You love bath time!

Favorite Nicknames:  Mister, Scooter  (Dad often says, Hey there Mister)
