As my parents say in that tired cliché “How time flies”… it certainly has been brisk and I am almost 4 months old now. I have doubled in weight and probably quadrupled in functionality since I was born. (My dad said something about babies outpacing Moore’s law in terms of increase in functionality… I hope I never need to learn such stuff when I eventually go to Swarthmore college or some such liberal arts school).
I can now smile at will, burp at will and other unmentionables at will. I think I am beginning to recognize faces and tell people apart (I am still struggling to tell Tina Fey and Sarah Palin apart, though - more work needed there). I am getting stronger all the time and I think my vocalizations are getting louder as well (judging by the rapid response time between the time I start crying and when “attention” arrives). I am also enjoying playing with those fluffy and squeezy toys and my new comfy swing. My parents have slowly eased up on the ambient Bach and other assorted classical music.. (they probably read my previous blog).. but have replaced it with inane chatter from CNN… I cannot wait for this election and something they are calling “Great Depression 2.0” to be over … I can probably watch some Baby Einstein or Nursery Rhymes then.
I am looking forward to my first solid food in a couple of weeks time. I hope it is local, organic and multi-grain… I can definitely use some variety in my food. Also, I am now able to roll myself over from the face down to the face up position.. (except when my parents are trying to record me in action… I guess the camera adds 10 pounds making it more difficult for me). I am also enjoying the outings to parks and other outdoorsy places (… definitely beats the view of the ceiling from my crib)…
That’s all for now.. Be sure to check back in for updates in the future (or sign up for the RSS feed).. Ciao
