I know I will regret this later, especially when telling the boys stories of their babyhood. Thank goodness S is great at saving the photos to the hard drive with descriptive labels, otherwise we would be completely lost.
Today Pin actually saw the rattle I was shaking at him, saw it and smiled and cooed and tracked it with his eyes. I put it in his hand and he gripped it and shook it for a while. I'm pretty sure he had no idea he was doing it, but he certainly liked the noise it was making. I ran around the house looking for the video camera but it's buried in a pile of something, somewhere. I'm sure he'll do it again, but the first time is always so magical and surprising. I tried it with Duckling a while later, and he also smiled and tracked it with his eyes.
At nine weeks of age, the boys can:
- Coo
- Smile
- Follow us with their eyes
- See bright colours and follow them with their eyes
- React to rattle noises
- Drool (mostly Duckling, who is nicknamed Bubbles)
- Sleep 3 to 5 hours at a time, sometimes (well, once) more
- Sort of hold their heads up
- Throw their feet straight up in the air and fart, even when asleep
- Make sucky noises and breathe excitedly when they see my breast or a bottle
- Poo only once or twice a day, instead of 6 or 7 times a day, although these poos are now so voluminous that they fill the diaper, leak, and sometimes go halfway up the back
- React when the other is crying, even though they ignore each other completely for the most part
- Cry vociferously and with intent (Pin's nickname is Loudy for this reason)
- Put themselves all the way to sleep if I lay them down half asleep
- Put themselves back to sleep if they wake up at night and aren't hungry and are swaddled
