August is 8 weeks old today!
This week, August:
- Didn’t have any fussy nights this week! The past few weeks he’s gradually gotten better and better, but this was the first week where he didn’t have any real fussy periods. Happy boy!
- Seems to be less gassy overall, which probably contributes to the above situation–his system is maturing, yay!
- Is still trying really hard to find his thumb (and still getting frustrated when he doesn’t)
- Is starting to prefer being held on mama’s right shoulder more so than other positions–calms him just as good as “the bounce” usually
- Growing some new hair and still mostly pimple free
- Loves being talked to and will often give the biggest smiles and talk back
- Celebrated his 2nd holiday, Memorial Day. The family went to Yvonne’s house for lunch & swimming (well, dada & Scarlett went in the pool while mama stayed with August)
A few snapshots from August’s 8th week:
