you are 21 weeks old!

i'm a little late taking and posting your 21 week picture, because i left the camera at church. woops.

this past week a lot of that pretty hair you were born with has been falling out. it is surprising, but apparently normal. babies supposedly often lose their hair within the first six months. it's still mostly there on top, and the new hair on the sides and in the back that has grown since you were born is still there. i don't think it'll lighten up a whole bunch, the way it does when some babies lose their hair.

we're still working on the tummy time and rolling over. you are enjoying it only slightly more than you used to, which is to say not really that much. once you get more mobile and don't feel stuck on your belly, though, i think you won't hate it so much.

you like to be swaddled again, but you still wake up about every three hours.

you have been interested in books lately. sam has been reading to you, and i usually read you an oscar the grouch book at night before you go to bed. you always smile at oscar. i think he's a cool favorite sesame street character to have! my favorite was grover.

here is a picture of you being a perky and fun 21-week-old!
love, mom
