O.K., I'm taking over this blog now. My daddy has been "too busy" lately to keep you posted on my progress, so I thought I'd chime in myself.
First of all, I've been sleeping in my new crib the past few weeks and I think I like it. I have a pretty mobile over my head that plays some music over and over. I wish I could change the music from time to time, but I like the spinning stuff. It keeps me occupied until I fall asleep. My mom says it was kind of weird at first when I wasn't in the bedroom with her and dad the first few nights, but every time I started crying, one of them was right there right away. It's as if they're monitoring me or something.
On the subject of sleeping, I guess I take after my dad, because that is now one of my favorite things to do. I never realized those first few months what I was missing. Lately, I've been going to bed between 8-9pm, and I usually sleep until at least 5am, sometimes as late as 7:30. Then I get up and have a nice breakfast, which I prefer rather than eating every few hours all night. I feel much better rested this way, and coincidentally, so do my mommy and daddy. To all you newborns out there, I recommend this sleep thing as soon as you can!
Here I am in my new crib.
How cute am I?
On Wednesday, March 4, I weighed in at 11 lbs, 11 oz. They switched my formula to a new one with fewer calories because I was growing so well, I don't need the special preemie formula anymore, so I may not be gaining as much as I used to. We'll see what happens when I adjust to the new stuff.
Also of note, mom and dad have been playing a lot of music for me. So far my favorites are Nina Simone, The Beatles, Miles Davis, The Grateful Dead, and whatever else come up on the ipod shuffle.
