Yesterday you turned 6 weeks old. Momma had hoped to update the blog on the actual day, but we have been traveling with Daddy's softball team this weekend in Salem, VA. You had your first nights in a hotel this weekend, which didn't go very well. I think you slept a bit too much during the day, which caused you to be fussy and a little too awake at night. You also have been wanting to eat every 1.5-2 hours these last 48 hours. Six week growth spurt perhaps?
You are getting so big and so much more aware of what's around you. You love to watch your mobile while you're swinging and you've turned your head towards daddy a few times this week when you hear his voice. You are a ferocious and fast eater. Lately, when you're done eating you cry. You also cry when we get you dressed - especially when we have to put things over your head. You seem to really like baths and wiggling on the floor. You do pretty good with tummy time, but you don't like it for long periods of time yet. Your head control is SO much better than when you were born, but it still bobs and moves around a lot if we aren't careful. You like to snuggle on our chests and fall asleep, but you sleep well in your pram or Moses basket, too. You are starting to out grow your newborn clothes (this makes Momma sad) and have started wearing a few things that are 0-3 months. Momma insists on putting a bow in your hair daily even if we're not going anywhere. Soon you'll be taking them out on your own, so I'm taking advantage of your unawareness. You are a beautiful, happy baby.
Momma and daddy (and so many others) fall in love with you more and more each day. We are excited to see what the future holds but really trying to appreciate the present and season you're in right now. We know you'll be walking and talking before we can blink.
We love you,
Momma and Daddy
Here are a few pictures on your 6 week birthday of you and your Great Nanny whom you met for the first time while in Salem.
