A few small, precious changes

We have been pleasantly drifting through this newborn time with our little guy. He's growing and was 8 lb 2 oz at 4 weeks and at 6 weeks is around 9 pounds. We have been rewarded with his first smiles. They are most frequent when he is over your shoulder cuddling or sitting in the kitchen in the bouncy seat; he likes to watch his sister antics. They, of course, disappear when the camera appears. Egan is getting much stronger in the neck and head and has started a daily regime of shoulder push ups. I tried putting him tummy down over the boppy and he wasn't at all pleased with that idea, so we've got a few more week to wait on that one. He has started to make a coo'ing noise, just one sort of an 'ahhhhh' sigh. Unfortunately, he's also gotten his first case of the sickies and has a little eye infection (which involves putting eye drops in four times a day which is lots of fun for everyone involved) and general fussiness (I'll spare you the tell tale 'poop' signs of a virus.)


Almost caught this smile, but the sleeper got in the way.
