Four Weeks

Wow. Has it been four weeks already? Karston's getting old!

What's different? He's still growing, and in fact size N newborn diapers are getting mighty snug. We won't be buying any more of that size! Of course he's stronger now. His legs are very powerful, and it seems like he could start walking any day now if only he could balance. His fingers have a powerful grip, and he can even push himself up on his arms (but not intentionally, it seems). At this rate, I wonder when he'll be stronger than his parents! He hardly makes Angry Face when feeding anymore. He needed lots of burping this week, especially Thursday when he decided to gulp at every feeding. By the end of the day, he was very hungry and very fussy. And from the other end, he farted a lot this week too. He's figured out the nose trick, where we offer him a nose to suck to see if he's ready to feed, so he doesn't always go for it. That's a shame because it was such a handy trick.

We went to a family luncheon Wednesday, so my grandparents could see him again and so my aunt could meet him. He slept quietly most of the time, occasionally opening his eyes and smiling. Of course he was a hit!
