  • Went to the Zoo for the first time
  • Sat in a highchair for the 1st time (at the zoo!)
  • Is a very efficient nurser - average 5 - 8 minutes from start to finish
  • Seems to be throwing up less
  • Loves to look at Pooh, Tigger & Piglet on his baby wipes container
  • Has long, full gorgeous eye lashes!
  • Kicks one leg (usually his left) when he is going to get upset
  • Tends to grab things with his right hand
  • Has met his 2nd cousins Jordan & Jorran (SP?) from China
  • Goes to bed between 9 - 10 pm and sleeps till 5- 7 am - YEAH!
  • Has a bath with Noah in the BIG tub and loves it!
  • Likes mom to rub his gums...there is something coming in there soon!
  • Moves around on his back...in circles usually...
  • Gets easily distracted when nursing...all noises MUST be meant for him!
  • Happily SCREAMS...he loves to hear himself!
  • Got a Baby Einstein Jumper and loves the toys, but he can't bounce yet.
  • Has slept 9 hours straight a few times! :)
  • Likes to suck on a wet (or dry) cloth
  • Has a fairly predictable eat-activity-sleep routine.
  • Has tiny flecks of green/brown around his pupils...but his eyes are still really blue!
  • Is great at pulling out his soother...not too great at getting it back in though
  • Can grab, kick, shake his toys - although not with too much precision
  • Goes to sleep happily & easily (95% of the time)
  • Drank breast milk from a sippy cup and liked it! But it was messy!

Is the BESTEST baby ever!!!
