Dear Austin,

Well they say that at 6 weeks, babies are at the peak of their crying… and crying and fussing is what you did this week.  :/  That’s OK though, because you’re still stinking cute when you cry.  We’re getting better at figuring you out with your cues and the tone of your cries though, so that’s a plus!  This past week, Eafong visited you and she was so great with you since she has a 5 month old of her own.  Mommy goes to her for a ton of baby tips.  One night, you and Ah Ma were totally exhausted, you fell asleep on her chest (as she was sleeping too) and you slept for 4 hours, that’s got to be one of the longest stretches of sleep in awhile.  We hope the long periods of sleep trend can keep continuing on to the future.  It seems that you like to be awake more and more now and although you’re super fun to play with, we wonder if you’re not getting enough sleep for a little guy your age?  You need sleep to grow, little one!

Also, apparently when Mommy and Daddy decided to a package of newborn photos that you took at the hospital, it came with a free at home portrait sitting which you were a perfect model for as well.  You showed off your big eyes, strong neck, bulging biceps, and even your pecs.  😉  Who knew you could hold your held up for so long!  We think modeling may be in your future, what do you think?  P.S. That cute aviator hat was made by The Sunshine Stitch, so warm and comfy, you love it!

Love,
Mommy
