The Business of Growing

This little fella is getting so big.  These pictures were taken in the middle of February and I feel like he's doubled his size since then.

Here he is with his cute Aunt Sarah.  He's lucky to be loved by so many people!
A few weeks ago the baby acne stage hit.  He's working on getting over it now.  His face just looked like it would hurt, but I know that it doesn't.  He's just as adorable as ever.


He's becoming much more alert.  This picture was taken while we were eating dinner one night.  He was content to sit in his bouncer and look around the room while we ate.
He started smiling just a couple of weeks ago and it just melts my heart every time.  And have I mentioned that he is a super good baby?  He hardly ever cries.  The only time you hear a peep out of him is when he needs to eat or if he feels he's being ignored.  He always gives warning grunts before he breaks out into a full cry.  For a few nights in a row he slept until 4 or 4:30 in the morning and I was hopeful that it was a permanent trend, but he went back to waking up a couple of times a night.  Hopefully we can work back to that once a night feeding again soon.  Anders is a sweetheart and we just love him!

He is so adorable! Man, that baby acne is the worst. Ben managed to skip it, but Sam still has some after almost 5 weeks. Hopefully Anders will be more short lived. And here's hoping a full night's sleep is in the near future for you, Cynth!
