Week 9

This week, Baby is very needy.  He's sleeping less and less during the day and really loves to be snuggled.  He does sleep well at night so I can't complain.  He "talks" quite a bit and has some infrequent smiles, not all related to gas.

The surgeon visit went well.  He's progressing.  His surgery is scheduled for August.  His recovery is unknown until he starts to make it, but we are hopeful.

He is absolutely taken with Little Miss.  He loves looking at her.  She loves having a captive audience talking to him and has been so helpful with him.  She can get his food and feed him.  She'll watch him briefly while I'm showering.  She makes sure we all wash our hands or that he always has a clean pacifier.  

He's become so strong.  If he's lying on his back, he can lift his upper body in little baby crunches.  Usually in anger.  He loves his playmat.  He can tire himself out just hanging out under that thing and kick and coo.
