Dear Seth,
Today you are 5 weeks old. You were so fussy all day yesterday and refused to sleep longer than 15 minutes at a time. Now you are finally passed out after a 3:45am breakfast and Mommy cannot get back to sleep. Every day is a new adventure with you in our lives. It's amazing how fast you are growing up. The other day I weighed myself, and then weighed myself holding you. 11 lbs difference! You have increased your birth weight almost 40% already. My little piggy! You'll be wearing 3-6 month sized clothes any day now. You have started loving the play mat we got for you the other day. You lay there waving your arms and kicking your feet looking back and forth, back and forth, taking it all in, it is so darn cute! Quite often you stop on the mirror and stare for awhile, probably thinking to yourself "who IS that handsome devil??" I'm still waiting to see a real smile on your face. Every day you're getting so much closer. I know I've seen your mouth make a smile-like shape, but I won't be convinced that it's real until your whole face lights up. For now though I still get a huge kick out of your big eyes staring up at me while you eat, or while I sing to you and make funny faces. My goal in the coming weeks is to get better about enforcing your tummy time, as much as you hate it. You can already hold your head up pretty well when you're sitting up in the Moby, or laying on my chest. But I need you to exercise those arms and legs too, and when you get really mad you scoot all over the place! I better try to go back to sleep now, I'm sure you'll keep me busy later today so I need to rest up. Love you buddy!
Love, Mama
