My sweet little baby isn't so little anymore, he now tips the scale at 11 pounds! I can not get over how quickly he has grown, his cheeks are chubby & he has grown a few extra chins :) every week he changes so much. Noah has been a much happier baby this week, it seems his reflux issues are less frequent since his medication has been increased to three times a day, he doesn't cry a painful cry anymore, & for that we are thankful. Noah has been more interactive, he is making eye contact & following objects the past couple of weeks. He has been making the sweetest cooing noises & giving us gummy smiles when he sees us. His favourite "play" item is his play mat. He loves music & kicks his feet & waves his arms when he hears it, he gets so excited. Last night we had the best surprise ever. Noah went to sleep at 10:30 & woke up at 5:15! almost seven hours of blissful sleep. I kept waking up when he would have normally been awake just to check on him & make sure he was alright. Usually he wakes up every 2-3 hours, waking at least three times a night to feed. We are hoping that some more restful nights are ahead.
update: Noah slept six consecutive hours last night. Woke for a feeding at 5am, and we were back in bed sleeping until 7:10. I may try to give him his last diaper change & feeding around midnight, with the hope that we can start a new routine.

oh sleep, yay for you! He continues to get more and more adorable... and I LOVE the little cooing noises babies make. I could sit and stare at a cooing baby all day.
Great to hear that he's feeling better and sleeping longer!
P.S. I read in one of my baby books this week that newborns look to the right 80% of the time.
