Gerry: 6 Weeks

Holy cow, that was a fast 6 weeks!

Nothing new to report on the Gerry front these days.  He's eating like it's his job (growth spurt, maybe?) and is generally a very happy little guy.  He's got his fussy moments, but they're few and far between.  Sleep-wise, it's kind of hit or miss these days.  Last night we got a solid 8 hours out of him, but the night before he was up two or three times.  At this point, we don't know what to expect but he's still super easy if and when he does wake up.  Just wants a quick bottle and then he's passed out again as soon as his belly is full.

 He's been "talking" a lot more lately, too.  This afternoon I found him gazing adoringly at our floor lamp and chatting it up.  It's funny to watch, because he tries so hard to make noise when someone talks to him.  And then when he does he gets all excited and just keeps on pushing sounds out.  And, oh my, his smile!  I could be having the worst day but one quick smile from him and I can't help but feel instantly happier.

Bath time is still a pleasure.  As soon as he hits the water he calms down and just stares at whoever is giving him his bath.  Sometimes he smiles but more often than not he's pretty serious.  Almost like he's focusing on how calming a warm bath can be.  He still doesn't like being taken out of the water, but the last two times he hasn't cried.  Just tensed up until we had him snuggled up in a towel.  His baptism is next week and I'm interested to see how he does with that.hat

That's all for now!
