Being able to support a 4oz bottle with his own mouth:

And, Silas almost able to support his own neck without the help of his parents. He can also recognize his parents. When Silas's mother claps her hands, and walks around the room, Silas is able to turn his head to follow where his mother is walking.

Oh yeah, and Silas often honks when he is sleeping.

Week 5

Ok, so Silas went to the community clinic this past Wednesday, and got weighed. He weighed in at 10lbs 13oz.
Here are some of the tricks that Silas recently demonstrated to his parents:
- He makes strange honking noises while he is awake.
- He can stand up when he is crying.
- He can sleep for up to 4.5 hours through the night - his parents appreciate this skill the most.
- He can recognize who his Mummy and Daddy are. Usually Daddy is the one to give him the bottle, and Mummy is the one who nurses him. One time Mummy tried to give him the bottle instead of nursing, and he got so confused that he started to cry.


Silas is growing quite a bit. He is wearing size 3mo. socks, 3mo sweater, and fits the Baby Bjorn. The Baby Bjorn was used by Tamara only after she was 3mo-6mo.
