8 weeks old

my vital stats for all the ladies out there (especially my grannies):
today i weigh 12lbs 10oz (5705g) and I'm 23.5" tall.
my hair is definitely growing and darkening, and i can pack a mean punch.
my vocabularly is enlarging all the time, and i now have a wide range of coos, gurgles and squeaks, not to mention the cries and yells i've been perfecting for a couple of months now. i'm now working on expanding my range of facial expressions.
my breastfeeding skills lack finesse (mom doesn't often take me out to eat) but what i lack in style i more than make up for in suction. apparently i should be putting on 15-30g a day at the moment. i like to push that envelope to over 50g myself. i've largely accomplished this feat by demanding to be fed at very regular intervals (sleeping is for wimps) and by hoovering milk directly from the breast, rather than a bottle, so mom doesn't know how much i'm eating and stop me when i've had my ration.
i've grown out of my newborn and some of my 0-3 month clothing and have moved up to size 2 pampers. i'm making good use of the increased capacity which impresses dad more than mom!
anything else you need to know, just ask
