How quickly time flies

How quickly has the last month gone? I can't believe I am already a month old. Mummy and daddy tell me that it has been the best month of their lives and that it feels like I have been here for much longer. I have really started to focus on things this week and love watching myself in the mirror. I am making mummy and daddy melt when I stare into their eyes and I am giving them lots of little half-smiles. I might reward them soon with a full smile for the silly voices and stupid faces they are pulling to try to get me smile.

The eyes that melt hearts

My last week has been another very busy one. Daddy was able to take Friday and Monday off work to spend with us which was fantastic as I am really missing him when he is at work. I've done more visiting this week; I got to spend time with Aunty Kim, Uncle Glen, Aunty Sharon, Grandma Glenys and Grandpa John, Aunty Tanya and Uncle Mark (and my future playmate in Aunty Tanya's tummy), got to finally meet Aunty Mel, Uncle Tim and my playmate Lily and also all the people at mummy and daddy's work after a visit on Monday. I went to Nanna and Grandad Jensen's house to see if I could cheer Grandad up to make him feel a bit better (I think it worked!). I love it when I see them and Nanna Bush because I get so many cuddles and kisses!

I had fun at mum's group on Tuesday where we learned about massage and playtime. I had my four week appointment with Trina the Healthcare Nurse yesterday. I am now 4.54kgs, 54.8cms long and my head is 38.5cms (up from 4.04kgs, 52.8cms long and head circumference 35cms two weeks ago - looks like I've got my dad's head with it growing so quickly). I am sleeping so well now - I am in bed by around 6.30pm and am waking at around 12am, 6am and 9am for feeds. Daddy does the 6am feed before he goes to work so both mummy and daddy are getting plenty of sleep. When we are at home, I am also having a proper afternoon nap from around 1.30pm-4pm (when mummy wakes me so we can play for a few hours). I also find time to have a quick nap between getting up in the morning at 9am and my afternoon nap at 1.30pm. All this sleeping is hard work and I do get grumpy sometimes, but most of the time I'm an angel still. My favourite time of day is still my bathtime with mummy and massage time afterwards with daddy.

In full flight

My end of the world face

I have my Uncle Vern coming down from Sydney to visit me tomorrow - he's driving all the way here just to meet me for the weekend. I can't wait to spend time with him, mummy and daddy have told me so much about him. I hope I don't keep him awake all weekend - his bedroom is next to mine!

Here are a couple of photos to show how much I have grown already.

I'm so tired I can't even be bothered with my dummy
