It's hard to believe Max is already 3 weeks. He has changed so much in that time and continues to change daily. He is becoming more alert, when we put him on his play pad he has started reaching for items himself. He is also holding his head up more and more on his own and for longer periods of time. He'll be holding it up on his own before long.
He is also becoming more expressive. One of them is the furrowed brow. It's similar to the look I have when I'm pondering something. Max already does this and I hope it is only because of gas.
There are many things to learn as a new parent. Though they lack language, babies are adept at letting you know their thoughts and needs. Within a few days you learn the cues. Of course the big cues are the cries and there is a discernible difference between say the I'm hungry NOW cry and the I'm taking a dump that could choke a grown man cry variety. Max's hunger cry consists of a loud wale where he opens his mouth wide and immediately closes into the tight frown of an old man who is bitter with the world. The working one out cries are really just like the ones grown ups have, we've only learned how to mask all sorts of discomfort better.
Max is also noisy. He grunts, groans, moans and coos. He hacks like Bill the Cat. You learn what these mean quickly. He moans when he's feeding to let us know he's happy and like the milk. He grunts when he's trying to do something, like hold his head up of reach for something. He hacks and grunts all the time. Seems like he will be an expressive child. The other night he was screeching like Axl Rose in the " you're gonna dddddddddiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!" breakdown of Welcome to the Jungle. Good thing rock singer/musician is on the list of approved future endeavors.
