5 1/2 hours

I went 5 1/2 hours between feedings last night! Yup, you heard me - 5 1/2 hours!!! That was 4 consecutive hours of sleep - my parents were so happy. I still average about 3 hrs between meals, but as of yesterday, I was able to go longer during the night (woohoo!!)

I'm also getting much better at holding my head up. I push off (when I'm being held up right) and then I hold my head and look around, it's quite exciting to see the world that way. I haven't mastered lowering my head back onto a shoulder yet, I just thud it back down (ouch). I love sitting up, as I'm supported of course, but I can't hold my head up in that position yet. I still look like a pile of smooshy baby, but I still LOVE sitting like that.

Also, I now have tears when I cry. Yay for me (I'm thinking it'll have a stronger impact on the 'I need attention' factor), and boy was I right! Mommy & Daddy melted when they saw my watery eyes for the first time and like clock work - immediate attention! I think they're catching on now though. However, they are getting much better at differentiating my cries - hunger, need a change, you're not giving me attention... and I grunt and squeak at them all the time as means of conversation. We have the best talks. Below is a picture of story time with Daddy. I look incredibly fascinated by the topic, don't I? :)
