Week Four

The biggest development in the last week has been that TJ clearly sets his gaze on faces as we come close to him. We still aren't getting any obvious reaction, but he's watching us.

Week Three

Shiv's first week back at work was also the first week that we didn't have family in town helping us with TJ. We are lucky that he's been an easy baby, as we're definitely getting good at running the checklist of his needs when he starts to complain...

wet or dirty diaper?
hungry?
need to burp or fart?
want to bounce!

Week Two

This second week had a number of significant milestones:

1. Sucking our own thumb
2. First successful bottle feeding
3. Sleeping ~3 hours between nighttime feedings.
4. Transitioning to cloth diapers during the daytime.
5. Several trips to the park, using the sling and stroller.
