Kyle, you are 5 weeks old!
After 5 weeks we finally figured out that you will actually nap somewhere other than mommy's arms - swaddled in the big swing. Yay! It was getting pretty hard to do anything but hold you, because every time you'd fall asleep during the day, the second I'd put you down you were wide awake. But in the swing, you'll put yourself right back to sleep with no fussing. It's a magic swing.
Luckily, no swing is needed at night. You'll eat a good dinner and for the most part we're able to put you down in your sleeper around 10-11 pm, where you'll stay asleep until 3-5 am, eat, and then back to sleep for another couple hours. This schedule has been working out pretty well for us.
You're starting to grab onto things, like mommy's shirt when you're nursing. You (sometimes) like when I read you nursery rhymes and you love kicking the air as hard as you can! You also seem to like your crib. You don't sleep in there yet, but you'll chill out in there for a while after we change you and you seem pretty content.
We've been running some errands together, going for lots of walks and you still really like the drive. 5 weeks is pretty fun!

| Yesterday's walk down Seal Beach Pier. You seemed unimpressed, but mommy was stoked to get some fresh air and eat some frozen yogurt. |
