6 Weeks

Arnold is 6 weeks old as of yesterday. It is hard for me to believe, although I am fully aware of how quickly they grow and change.

Arnold continues to get cuter every day. When he is awake, he is much more alert and active. He is pretty strong when he wants to be with his movements. He is smiling much more, too. Sometimes, I am able to prompt him to smile at me. He has always made funny noises, but now he "coos" more, like he is trying to talk to me.

He loves to lay on his play mat and look around at the hangy toys. Emma Claire likes to lay next to him and play there, too. I think maybe he is having a little growth spurt, because he seems to be sleeping a little more again. At night, he is awake a couple of times to nurse, but then falls asleep again snuggled up with me.

I dressed him up yesterday and took a bunch of photos. He is currently the only family member that will let me "practice" my photography on him. He was very cooperative. I wonder how long he will play "dress up" with me?
