I weighed him on Labor Day weekend. He was 13lbs. Sheesh. I think he'll get weighed again on Friday and my money's on 14-15lbs.
We got our first smiles this past weekend (9/9 - 9/10). Chrys got the first big, open mouth, gummy grin. I have had a few more since, but they are still inconsistent.
He's got amazing head control and can pretty much right himself when it falls forward in the car seat. One of the ways I can tell he's asleep these days is that it stays forward.
He's a sleeper. Seriously, if I had known babies could be this easy, I could never have dealt with RC. He will sleep in til 9 with me on weekends and wake up easily at 7:30 on the weekdays. He's pretty laid back and easy going. He only really cries these days when he's hungry and I can't get to him (in the car) or too tired to just pass out.
Speaking of that, he does just pass out. I can be carrying him along and he'll just go limp. There's no fighting every nap. Honestly, he fights some in the afternoon and I'm lucky to get cat naps during that time. Bed time is still a struggle, but I think he'll get that figured out, too. It will also help when he gets his afternoons worked out.
His hair seems to have a bit of curl to it, like RC and Chrys, even though it's my color (unlike RC and Chrys' lighter brown). You can comb it straight, but left to its own devices, it forms little curls and he gets quite the 'fro going. I get comments on how much of it he has all the time. He hasn't lost much/any yet.
Still waiting on eye color, though the blue/grey is still pretty light - lighter than I remember Ryanne's being (and she ended up with brown that may be lightening to hazel). His eyes seem to be small and squinty like daddy's. It's pretty funny to watch him pull his eyebrows up to his hairline when he's trying to really look at something. He just can't get them very far open, though.
