Biased opinion alert

Cutest baby in the world!

So close

He still wants nothing to do with a pacifier, but really needs extra sucking. Here, he found his fist. I know lots of you will have dissenting opinions, but I really hope he finds his thumb. There, I said it.

Five weeks!

He was in such a great mood this morning and really enjoyed sitting up to survey his kingdom. He is getting more and more alert every day, which is fun. The crying/fussing jags are a bit less now and that's a relief. Part of it is maturity and I think part of it is that we're a little better at reading signals and being proactive. Plus, I do think he was having tummy trouble, which is also easing up a bit. Less gas/hiccups/rumbling. Unfortunately, we're struggling with a stuffy nose right now. There aren't any other symptoms, so I'm not sure if it's a little cold, dry air, allergies or what. If it doesn't get better, we'll try a humidifier and air purifier. It makes sleeping a bit difficult, so there haven't been any good, long naps today. Could make for an interesting evening...we shall see!
