The baby is nearly 8 weeks old now. I can't believe how quickly the time has passed. Quite honestly, the first 4 weeks are a blur. I don't remember much during that time except that this new creature seemed to be constantly hungry and never slept. This second 4 weeks has been a revelation. Breast feeding has finally gotten easier. The baby takes actual naps and sleeps for much of the night. When he's awake, he's alert and interactive. He's starting to 'talk' and is better able to focus on objects and faces. I'm reading the 'Baby Book' by Dr. Sears and am avidly charting Lincoln's progress with the month milestones described in the book.
Right now, he's been awake in his crib for over half an hour. I can hear him sucking loudly on his fist, likely clenching the blanket while doing so. It was a mysterious noise at first, one I thought could possibly be the cat. It's 7:00, time for our day to begin.
