Ahh, baby... There is nothing cuter than watching this little boy kick his little feet, flail his little arms, make funny faces and noises. He has also started rewarding us with genuine smiles now and then - not the reflexive ones, but the ones that light up his entire face. He makes little grunts and billy goat sounds when he sleeps, and when he cries... oh boy, I can't believe so much volume comes out of such a wee boy.

He gets fussy when he is tired, and he is also colicky every other night anywhere from 8pm to 12am - sometimes for 3-4 uninterrupted hours. He wakes up around midnight and then around 3am, and then again around 6am for his feedings.

He has slept at both grandmothers' houses and was really good for them. He is now definitely out of newborn-sized clothes, and we are guessing he weighs close to 11lbs now.

Mama and daddy are still adjusting to the demanding new schedule. It is difficult to get much done around the house. We have brief spurts of activity whenever baby boy naps (make meals, wash dishes, pump, do a load of laundry, pick up around the room, check mail), but we can't commit large amounts of time to anything more than that. I'm starting to think about going back to work and how we will transition. It will be hard, but luckily I don't have to face it for another 43 days. I know how incredibly lucky I am to work for an incredible company that allows me to take maximum time allowable to bond with my baby. And I appreciate every single minute of it.
