Today you are officially one month old and I am officially freed from confinement.

You had been rather difficult with your crying for the last two weeks. But that had passed. Your confusion between day and night had also passed. Now, you seemed to be more co-operative when it comes to sleeping.

However,you are still drinking from one breast at each feed so I am not sure whether you are taking enough. Everyone who came and saw you said that you are relatively smaller than your sister when she was one month old. But I know you have grown because you can fill into the bodysuits now. Unlike before, the sleeves were very very long and your feet did not touch the ends of the body suits.

Unfortunately, pimples have started to break out on your face the week before. So now you are a pimple-faced baby. These pimples are nothing but milk rashes.

What can you do or like to do at this stage? Well. you can lift up your head to look at things. You are very interested in the black and white pictures that I put in your playpen. You liked to be carried to sleep and when you sleep. You like to poo all over your clothes and also right after a change of diaper!
