My Turn

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.
