Life through Claire’s Eyes: Month 1 – 2
The highlight this month, probably for Mom more than me, is that I got a break from the breastaurant, and had what I’ll call “take out” instead (pumped breastmilk from a bottle, that Dad gave me). It’s different than the breastaurant, but I still like it. Milk is milk and they call me a milkaholic, so how can I be picky? I think Mom likes it because she gets a break once a day to go throw the frisbee or run errands. Otherwise my feeding is still pretty steady, every one to two hours. I enjoy consistency.
In sleeping news, my schedule is still more eating than sleeping. Mom and Dad have found a way to get me to sleep during the day. It’s not the traditional stroller, it’s almost never the swing, and it’s definitely not the car seat; that thing makes me scream. It’s the Beco carrier. That thing is irresistible. I can sometimes sleep for two hours or more in there!
In other news, by around five weeks, I started holding my head up pretty consistently. At around the same time, I realized that smiling is another exciting thing to do, though you may be surprised at what amuses me. The blinds, the warning label in my stroller, the fish on my swing… I find many things amusing, but rarely Mom or Dad, much to their disappointment. I guess it’s because I’m looking at them constantly, and there’s nothing new to see. Oh, and I’ve started losing a lot of my hair. Now my hairline resembles my Dad’s. I hope that changes in time. We’ll see.

You call THAT music?!
Who needs toys? This is a really interesting warning label.
No need for a watch dog…
…when you have a baby security guard like me at home 🙂
Hmmm, this is annoying, I can’t visit the breastaurant facing this way!
I’m getting worried Daddy has too much screen time. What do you think?
Sleeping on Grandpa at one of my first professional Ultimate games. Not so exciting for me yet…
Sumo wrestling? Ya, I can do that.
The only time during the day I’ll give in and sleep: in the Beco carrier.
This new book makes tummy time so much more interesting.
Mommy gets out to visit friends. I think it keep her sane during my marathon feedings.
Daddy is very interesting…
…but the restaurant’s ceiling is even more interesting.
No, I haven’t heard the results of the BC election yet. Do tell.
Really?! That’s very disappointing. But aren’t you impressed I can hold my own head up at 6 weeks?
First time on a ferry; it’s quite overwhelming!
My first trip to Grandpa’s in Lantzville.
Oh is that the sun rising outside? All of a sudden I’m getting quite sleepy…
Giving Grandpa some nice smiles.
Sure, I can talk now. I’m just getting my nails done, you? Yeah, it’s definitely a tough life.
I’m not so sure about this “car seat”.
Monkeying around for the camera already!
Oma, you’re nearly 100 years older? Maybe you can teach me a thing or two.
I don’t want to miss a thing so I sleep with one eye open. Either that, or my eyeballs are too big for my eyelids.
Mommy & Daddy want me to smile for them but the ceiling, the blinds, starfish & seahorse are my best friends.
Why am I the only one with ears on my hood? And what’s so great about this “Ultimate” I see Mommy and Daddy playing?
“Super baby” at tummy time!
Visiting Mommy’s work is terribly exciting; it’s my first trip outside the belly!
My second ferry ride; old hat now.
Sometimes I get tired of looking cute.
