(Clockwise: 3 weeks, 2 weeks, 1 week, 1 day)
Samuel has already changed so much over the past three weeks.
- He is awake for more of the day... usually for about 1-2 hours after 2 or 3 of his feedings each day.
- He sleeps for longer stretches at night... our longest stretch so far was 4.5 hours.
- He likes baths now... thanks to some tips from Amy.
- He takes a bottle well... daddy can feed him from time to time, or we can go out without me having to leave the conversation for a good half hour!
- He has started to fill out more and lookmore like a baby (less like a newborn)... I don't have exact measurements, we go to the doctor next Tuesday, but his newborn sized clothes are almost fitting him!
- He focuses on faces... he will make eye contact with me when being held.
- His neck muscles are getting stronger... he can turn his head from one side to the other while on his tummy.
- He stretches out more... he was always in the fetal position, but now he stretches his arms and legs more.
- He explodes out of fewer diapers... we were changing clothes with every diaper until we found a diaper that works for him.
- Mom can comfort him better... I know what his grunts mean - hungry, tired, or pooping :)
