Smiley

Between 5 and 6 weeks Mystery Baby has been smiling more in response to us than just gas, or smiles as he dreams.  He even gave our landlord's wife a huge smile the other day, one of his first.  So we've been trying to get him to smile a lot, and trying to capture them.

Hanging out with Daddy playing Angry Birds.  Small Smiles.  And this week he's become much more dexterous with his hand movements.  The top right picture is him with his hands are curled up under his chin(s) while I try to get him to sleep.  He also started swinging his hands at toys we put near him.  This has the older kids thrilled!

Sleeping.  He sleeps best held tight in my arms.  The bottom left picture is him in the swing.  I have to swaddle the top half of his body so his arms are pinned, but leave the bottom half out so he can get buckled and because it's so hot.  Then he squishes his nose up into the left hand side of the swing and will sleep for hours.  He also sleeps well in his car seat (bottom right).  He does well at night swaddled in his baby burrito.  The only problem is the need to eat every 3 hours!  Sometimes he'll go 4.  He's taken a couple of naps that have lasted a few hours swaddled up in his baby burrito in his crib this week as well.

Captured smiles!  And trying to capture smiles.  9/29/12
