Upcoming 4-Week Milestones

Today is an exciting day. Daddy is going to give Gunner his first bottle because it is almost his 4-week birthday. I'm excited because it means that I won't be the only one who can feed him, and Jim's excited because it will be a great bonding experience just for the guys.

It also means that I am closer to having that ice cold beer that's been waiting for me for more than 9 months!

Also with his 4-week birthday, as long as he is still feeding 8-12 times per day and has the normal amount of wet and dirty diapers, I don't have to wake him up every 3 hours to feed him. Here's hoping he sleeps for longer stretches during the night.

Dr. Nash said that maybe around 4 weeks he will be responsive to our smiles and start to smile back, but it could be as late as 8 weeks. But I think we catch him smiling at us sometimes. It's probably gas, but it's still cute!

Are you smiling? Or just farting?
