i was much better about keeping everyone up-to-date on Zoren when he compactly fit inside me. i have been attempting to get this blog up and running for awhile now but there never seems to be enough time for everything i want to do during each nap he takes.
i will start with info about the present and as time allows i will back track to how he got here and anything else i want to tell you about. i hope to use this blog to let all who want to keep up with zoren's comings and goings as well as share what i have learned about pregnancy, childbirth and being a mother.
zoren is now into his 14th week of life (a bit past 3 months... until i became pregnant and now have a child i didn't understand why parents didn't just use months to chronicle their children's lives. i realized that weeks is more accurate for pregnancy and an infant's age because not all months are the same length. and different milestones are reached in pregnancy and in baby's life from week to week, so it makes sense to keep track that way.).
so, zoren is a big boy, he was 16 lbs 4 oz a few weeks ago. he still has a mostly full head of hair though he has begun to lose it around the back and sides. he is into smiling and making sounds when he is really happy. today i think i can say that he even chuckled a few times! he can roll from his back to his side when he twists his head up. he is beginning to grab at toys and if he gets one, he often brings it to his mouth. if he has no toy, he puts all his fingers from one hand in his mouth. i have heard that this helps diffuse his gag reflux making him more prepared for table foods (which will come around 6 months).
