Can you believe it's been 4 weeks since my birthday? So much has happened in that time! I'm really smiling these days - for Mommy, Daddy, and William. And I can definitely recognize people I know. Today Daddy came home from work and with all the voices in the room (we had visitors), I turned to look for him. I'm also tracking objects even better now. When I watched Mommy walk past me today I followed her with my eyes and I even turned my head! I get stronger and more coordinated every day.
I met even more people in the past week. Mommy's cousin Hallie visited one night. Then we went to meet the aunts at Great-grandma's house; I got passed around during Maggie and Marty's birthday celebration. I was a very good sport about it! Today Uncle John stopped by. He was in MN to go ice fishing. Auntie Leah made sure he came to meet me and took lots of pictures! Too bad I've broken out with baby acne in the past week. I'm not my cutest self right now. But I was wide eyed for lots of the pictures, so that will have to make up for the splotchy skin.
Well, I'd better let Mommy get to bed because she's having to get up with me a lot these days. It seems that some nights I sleep really well and go five hours between feedings. Other nights I get up in the middle of the night and decide it's time to be awake. I never know what kind of a mood I'll be in. Maybe I'll let her sleep tonight... maybe not.
