As of Wednesday Jonah will be 6 weeks old. In honor of that I will list some of his vital stats:
as of this morning he is 8 lbs, 6 oz (went to the clinic today)
he has
-had his first cold (currently, which is why we went to the clinic today)
-had 3 photo shoots
-been home for 3 weeks
-not slept longer than 4 hours at a time
-increased the amount he eats at a time from 2 ounces to usually 3-3.5 ounces
-graduated to Avent bottles (he was only able to tolerate the NICU bottles)
-is still in newborn diapers...speaking of, I need to go buy more
-he can still wear all the newborn clothes...so much for the people that said they were a waste of money (some of the 0-3 month stuff is still a little big)
-gone through almost 3 cans of formula
-been licked by all the dogs (bailey included)
-met 4 out of his 7 cousins
-has been to target 2 times, best buy once, the mall once, and the grocery store once
-he still can only tolerate being in his carseat for about 30 minutes before he has increased work of breathing...which makes it really hard to do the previously mentioned errands :)
-he is staying awake for longer periods of time...sometimes even staying awake between feedings.
-he is really good at making eye contact
-he can turn his head and likes to face to his right
-he loves his bouncy seat and is learning to like his swing
-he cried real tears 2 nights ago (which made me cry real tears!)
-he still is not socially smiling (the doctor said, don't be suprised if it takes him till 3 months)
-he loves to be swaddled, but somehow always gets his hands up by his face (not out, just up by his neck)
-he has a little reddish tint to his hair (especially in the sun)
-he can hold his head up for 5-10 seconds
-he is doing better at holding his paci in his mouth
-he hates getting his diaper changed (and always cries)
-he has pee'ed on almost every person that has changed his diaper since coming home from the nicu
*note: I write all this stuff so I can remember when I go to scrapbook his 1st year :)
here is the 1st video that we took of Jonah (he was 3 days old)
And here is a recent one from about a week ago
