6 weeks old

Dear Rose,
Your sixth week has been busy. You have gained another 7 oz, which is wonderful. Dad has mastered giving you a bottle, which you, at first, did not enjoy. I think it is great that Dad can feed you - you will discover it is one of his life's joys - to nurture others through feeding them. We are lucky to have him in our family! His other joy is to sleep. Something that the two of you do well!
You have noticed your hands this week too. I have caught you, a few times, watching them. You are not quite sure what they are about, and have trouble controlling them. I know in a few short weeks you will be using them well.

You have been smiling lots and beginning to coo. We have regular conversations, you and I.


All my love, Mama
