Four and a half weeks

At four and a half weeks... I am 10 and a quarter lbs and still the same length as I was at birth (21 inches.) I like to drink about 3 to 3 1/2 ounces of formula every 2-4 hours.

Just a week or so after birth, I began making lots of creaking, squeaking and groaning noises. Now I'm having fun with what seems more like 'pre-cooing' sounds, and I like to practice stringing them together. Sometimes in the middle of the night I'll lay in my crib and Moms will giggle at me while I chatter.

Just this week I began to find my thumb! For quite awhile now I have sucked at my fist, or the first knuckle of my pointer finger... but just recently I've learned how to extend my thumb a little and get it into my mouth. It's perfect when it works! and I even prefer it oftentimes to my pacifier. I'm a Big Girl!
