At this point you are getting more comfortable with everything; feeding, sleeping, looking around (plus pooping, peeing) are all happening now with relative ease. That said, you do take your time about things. Eating takes an hour, with occasional dozing off in the middle. Sleeping can go on for a long time, already 6 hours in some cases. And pooping... twice yesterday we had to change you 3 times in a row because of your casual approach. 17 diapers in a single day!
Your fingernails are growing fast. On that note you sustained his first injury today at my hand, clipping part of your finger along with the nail. After a brief outcry and a nasty look it was right back to the milk -- at most a minor inconvenience for you.
You are long (or tall, depending on how you look at it), so for right now your mother and I have nicknamed you "weasel" (Ласка, pronounced la'-ska). Youve got a long slender body with long legs, but still sport pretty puffy cheeks and a couple of chins. Your mom is a hedgehog (Ежик, pronounced yo'-zheek), so we now have half the family's "inner animal" identified. No word yet on what Grisha is or what I am.
Your mom has been great; she takes over at night since she has to feed you anyway and lets me sleep through the night -- may hat is off to her. Today the nanny comes and will hopefully help give both of us a break; I hope you like her.
Today also marked your first adventure into the world outside the house. The fact is, chai and cappuccinos exist on the other side of the block and not in the house, so you saw the inside of your first Starbucks today. Air conditioning was full blast because of a brief heat wave in the city so it was a quick trip before moving on to the more temperate pastry shop next door for some good scones, unlike the Starbucks crap scones. You remained unimpressed and decided to go to sleep.
You seem pretty content when not directly threatened with hunger or being cold, very little crying so far for which I'm thankful. I hope you are content.
