My First Month

Most of the time I behaved quite good compare to most babies. My mother had enough milk for me and 3 weeks old I was already over 4 kilo. I drank a lot or rather many times during daytime...it was like it was sleeping medicine in the milk because after drinking just a short time I got so tired and fell asleep although my mother squeezed my hand and rubbed my neck to keep me awake....so I just slept and after half an hour or one hour I wake up again and felt hungry because I didn't drink enough. I think this was a bit hard for my mother.
Some days I was really good and spent a long time in my bed just looking around without crying or complaining. My parents also took me to the living room on the sofa there and let me stay there and I liked to lie and just look around...so many interesting things and sounds and it was also good to have them real close to me.
I knew it was most important to behave well during night also because my father had to get up early every day for work, so every night I slept 3-4 hours between the meals and went straight to sleep again.
I liked very much to go out as well. Unlike most other babies I didn't have a pram but something called a babyholder, http://www.babyholder.no My father took me out in this from I was about 10 days old. I liked it because it remained me of being inside my mother's stom. I was in constant movement and I could feel the warmth from my fathers body and it made me feel very safe and secure. Most of the time we were out, even in shopping malls I slept like a log most of the time.
I think my parents found it a bit strange that I didn't smile much the first month. I din't have much time to do that...it was so many other things, so much to see like watching my parents faces and so on. On the other hand I was quite strong and just after some days I could turn my head from one side to the other while I was lying on my stom. From a few weeks old they trained me every day like this, lying on my stom for some time and sometimes I got fed up because I rather wanted to sleep or eat.
