4 Weeks!

James is almost 4 weeks old now--time for an update! He's smiling now. And he's incredibly strong. His strength is inspiring when he's prone on your chest and he lifts the entire front half of his body up off of you to look around. His strength is incredibly frustrating when you're trying to finagle his appendages into a onesie. He's very easy going and mostly sleeps between feedings at night (except when he's passing gas). He occasionally screams, but the bouts last maximum 5 minutes and they usually end with him falling asleep, on his own or in your arms. (Side note: Abby also used to scream in our arms, but the bouts lasted for hours and then you had to stay perfectly still or she would wake up again and scream some more.) He's very vocal. When he eats he sounds like a squeaky wheel. When he farts he grunts like a line-backer. Here are some photos from the last week.

A half smile!
