Six Weeks

I was going to wait and do my next Jimmy update at eight weeks, but I feel like he’s changed so much in the last two weeks that his development deserves an interim post.  

At six weeks, Jimmy is:

• Eating every 3-4 hours during the day (closer to 4 hours the last few days) and going 5-6 hours for one stretch at night (even 7 glorious hours one night!)
• Staying awake for a little over an hour from the beginning of a feed until he gets tired
• Falling asleep on his own with usually only a little fussing
• Filling out 0-3 month clothing
• Having one diaper “blow-out” per day requiring a change of clothing (sorry for the detail!)
• Wearing Size 1 diapers
• Starting to smile occasionally
• Holding his head up without much effort
• Pushing his body up on his legs when you hold him upright in your lap
• Fussing when he’s left alone during awake time; he’s a very social guy
• Warming the hearts of his family and friends!
