Dear Austin: Eight Weeks
Posted 2.29.2012 by Sandy a la Mode in Baby :: 30 comments
Dear Austin,
In this past week, we really started nailing down a schedule! You eat between 4-5 ounces each feeding about 6 times a day. You’ve started to sleep for longer stretches of time, especially at night where you can sleep up to 4 hours or so max. We’re so proud of you for being able to sleep so long and not going to lie, it gives us a little bit more time to sleep as well.
Your constantly amaze us wit new facial expressions, especially your new favorite one, the pout. Mommy, Daddy, Ah Ma and Ah Gong all melt in your hands at that one. You’re also really ramping up those vocal cords and talking up a storm these days. We can’t always understand what you’re saying, but we will one day, I promise! Oh yea, another thing that happened is that for some reason you started sucking on your pacifier so hard that it leaves marks on your face sometimes, too funny!
Your new favorite place to go this week was none other than Target (it’s one of Mommy and Daddy’s faves too). We put your car seat carrier in the big part of the shopping cart and for the first half of the trip you were looking around in utter amazement. There were so many new things you hadn’t seen before and of course looking up at the lights was probably your favorite. And then after about 15 minutes, you fell fast asleep as Ah Gong pushed you around the store. Then the day after that, Ah Ma and I took you for your second stroll around the neighborhood. You’re so lucky that the weather has been unseasonably warm this February so you could go out to play! Oh and one last thing, you wanted me to tell the world that they better watch out, Jeremy Lin ain’t got nothing on you. You’re already spinning basketballs at only eight weeks old!
Love,
Mommy
