Because Lloyd is such a patient and sweet baby, and because I was crafty enough to rig a book-stand so I can read while nursing, I was able to finish The Story of Edgar Sawtelle.

Lloyd is 6 weeks old now!  We bought a baby scale because we were too curious about his exact weight. He’s 13 lbs, 11 oz!   Here are some recent pictures:

Here’s a picture of Lloyd’s strong neck.  He is also now on youtube and I made a movie of his neck workout: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3E8_RJtLdk

Lloyd is officially over one month old.  By now, he can raise his head up on his own, and even push himself up by his forearms in an exciting and impressive mini-push-up.   He makes heart-melting eye contact and can follow objects with his eyes.  

The most recent development has been Lloyd’s ability to smile.  They are still rare, but today he granted me (Jenna) four glorious, open-mouthed, toothless smiles that seemed completely unrelated to gas.   

Lloyd continues to be an easy baby.  He’s sleeping really well at night as long as we’re holding him.  He still hates not being held, but we don’t seem to mind.  : )
