I'm 8 weeks old!


Boy, time flies when you sleep all (most) of the time! I can't believe I'm 8 weeks old. Mommy keeps telling to stop growing so fast, but I can't help it when I make her feed me every 2 hours. She keeps telling me that I can't possibly be hungry again, but I am! I like to snack during the day instead of filling up on full bottles. I've heard six small meals a day help you keep a girlie figure.


My days are filled with me and my brothers doing fun activities together. I mostly sit back and watch, well actually, I sleep during this time. I can't seem to stay awake for more than 2 hours. Mommy's good at propping my bottle up while I'm in the car, or stroller, or even the bouncy seat. She's always saying what a good "multi-tasker" she is, whatever that means. I let her play with my brothers most of the time and only demand her attention when I need food or have pooped my diaper. Okay, sometimes I do want her to hold me and talk to me. I especially like it when she talks to me in the morning. I seem to be in the best mood of the day when I wake from a full night sleep.


Speaking of sleep, I'm a really good night sleeper. I don't like to brag, but I only wake once to be fed. I don't even cry. I sorta grunt and mommy comes running! I really have her trained. Sometimes mommy is so tired that she will shut her eyes when she's feeding me and my bottle ends up in my ear. When she wakes, she says sorry and puts it back it my mouth. I love to be swaddled really tight, and prefer a binky when I can't quite get to sleep. If I have a hard time falling asleep I like to scream my head off, then pass out.


Being 8 weeks old is great. I don't have a schedule, I do what I want, and my mommy will jump through hoops to get me to stop crying. It's really funny. She keeps saying something about me sleeping in my crib for naps. I don't have the heart to tell her that I won't. She keeps trying to put my in there, but again, I cry and she comes running. Good mommy. I love my bouncy seat when it vibrates and especially love it when mommy gives it a little extra bounce. She usually knows to not stop bouncing until I'm asleep.


Anyways, I love my mommy, daddy and brothers a lot. I also really like the big furry animal everyone yells at, named Lola, and the grey furry thing that sniffs me often after I have a bottle. Life is good and it will only get better!
