Changing all the time...

It's amazing to me how quickly things change with babies. Every day there is something new.

Physically, Judah is growing like a weed: the last four weeks he has gained 10oz, 15oz, 10oz, 12oz (in that order). He now weighs 11lb 5oz, and he is also so tall! We've had to  adjust his car seat straps twice already and he's only 6 weeks old! He's moved out of newborn stuff and into 0-3 month clothing.

He's also becoming very aware.  He's awake more now (and not just sleeping or eating). He looks around a ton and tries to figure stuff out, he loves to look out the car window when we're driving. In the past week he has started following Brett's voice and watching us intently.  It's so nice to feel like this little person is equally as interested in you as you are in him.

Another thing this week is that he has started smiling! There were a few times when we thought perhaps he was smiling but since Saturday we've got picture proof.  His brows are so expressive and it's so great to see the smile and not just the terrified or skeptical looks that we'd been getting.





It's so exciting to watch him grow! 

Another new thing this week, Brett put Judah down in his crib for a few minutes to run downstairs, when he came back and Judah was asleep and peaceful. We hadn't thought about transferring him from the bassinet by our bed to the crib in his room this early but he seems to like it! The last four nights he has slept in his crib, quite happily. In fact, last night we put him to bed after eating and he cooed happily for an hour before drifting off! He looks so little in there:
