A g...Pat - this is probably your best entry so far. A good assessment which brought back many memories for me. Don't worry - it gets better in about three months. <BR/><BR/>You're right about the field of vision being about 18 inches. That's no accident (I believe, anyway). That's a distance where the baby can feed and look at mama's face at the same time. We're programmed to learn faces right out of the gate. Although he can't recognize faces now, that's one of his first assignments. After a while, he'll be able to distinguish people.<BR/><BR/>What's annoying about the first days is they scream and scream because they're hungry, but they don't realize that by sucking they can alleviate that pain. <BR/><BR/>They also don't know the difference between day and night or realize how efficient putting all your sleep together at the same time can be. <BR/><BR/>When Gretel had her Christening, I made one last diaper change before we left. Then - BAM! - she pooped again just as I put another diaper under her (they don't exactly give those things away for free). So I said "That's coming out of your college fund!"<BR/><BR/>She didn't like the baths, either. She peed all over my hand as I held her and screamed for the baby next door to help. She'd scream (in her own little way) "Hubert! SAVE ME!"<BR/>-BobAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
