I'm four weeks old..

It's not easy getting old...

So if you're born on January 30th, when are you one month old? It's trickier than you'd think -> february 30th doesn't work... So we'll just go with a celebration of turning 4 weeks old, and leave it at that.

Official weights, sizes and all that jazz will be done tomorrow. The ad-hoc solution at home with the food scale and the fruit basket just doesn't work very well anymore, but I'm betting that I click in around 8lbs, 8oz - which would be a respectable rate of gaining weight.

I'm eating well, and sleeping well still. This is a really good thing. I need to chow once between midnight and morning, but otherwise I sleep. Truth be told, I snore.

I'm increasingly alert, and for longer periods of time. I can focus on faces that are about a foot away from my head, and I'll turn to follow sounds. My eyes will track differences in contrast. I've been to a number of places in the last couple of days. I went to the library, and to the butterfly pavillion, and shopping, but I slept through all of the above.

That's about it for now. Look for a weight/size/official pediatrician report.

Love, R.
