Three Weeks Old

I thought I should give a little update one what I'm up to now that I'm 3 weeks old. I'm sleeping ok at night and I sleep a lot during the day, although I'm staying awake for longer periods of time throughout the day. Daddy usually stays up with me until about midnight-1:00 a.m. He feeds me and then puts me to bed. I then usually wake around 3 or 4 a.m. and Mommy gets up with me. Normally she changes me, feeds me and I go right back to bed then wake again around 8:00.

I am eating about 3 ounces of formula every 2-4 hours. (Four hours doesn't happen very often but it has happened.) :)

Mom and Dad think they can tell I've grown some. They say my face is getting a little fuller but honestly I'm still pretty tiny.

Today is my first day home with just Mom and Cohen. Cohen has preschool today but this afternoon it's just the three of us. We've had a helper here since I came home. Between Daddy, Grandma Dahlstrom and Granny someone has been here to lend Mom a hand. Hopefully she can keep Cohen and I both happy all on her own.

I've heard Mommy and Daddy say I like to be held a lot. I can't help it if I like to snuggle. I really like to lay against something and prefer to lay on my side. I have been rolling to my side since the day I was born. I guess that's not really normal for a newborn but it's no big deal for me. It's how I like to lay. I also REALLY like it if my head is against something. Preferably the top of my head and my forehead. Mom said that's how I was laying in her belly. Every ultra sound they had of my I had my head and face tucked up against some part of her. A lot of times Mom and Dad will hold me on my side with my head on their arm and my forehead against their chest. I'm happy and as comfortable as can be right there and it calms me right down if I'm upset. I also have been lifting and turning my head since the day I was born. Mom and Dad have to be on a alert when they're holding me because I'll just lift my head and turn it side to side and back again without much warning. I'm not great at controlling it but my neck is definitely strong that I can move my head all around.

I also really like my pacifier. I get smacking away when I suck on that thing. Sometimes it makes Mommy and Daddy laugh but hey, I like it!
