2 weeks old!

...Still no knitting, at 2 weeks (and 1 day) out - so far it's more "web surf when the baby sleeps" than "sleep when the baby sleeps" or "knit when the baby sleeps". But it's all good - I'll get back to it soon I'm sure. And my mom arrived on Tuesday bearing multiple knitted garments so he is not lacking for handmade things!

Anyway, here's his 2 week picture from yesterday. He's arching against the chair in protest - little muscles getting stronger! He's also holding his head up more and tracking our faces with his eyes a lot more than a week ago.

Here's a picture (from when he was 5 days old) of the lovely sweater his aunt Carolyn spun and knit for him! Such beautiful fall colors, and it should fit (we suppose) later this winter - nice to have bright colors when it will be grey and rainy here in Oregon!

And here's a sweater from my Mom, which arrived by mail in advance of her visit. Isn't it cute? (he's 8 days old in the picture):

Finally, Malcolm (2weeks old) and Grandma (or Gramma? the spelling hasn't been decided yet) having a chat:
He's making his little turtle face - it's so fun to watch him try out different expressions. We're starting to see little gassy smiles too, though they don't correlate to much yet. Such fun!

Turtle face...I love that.

We used to call one strange infant expression the girls made "O-mouth".
It is a lot of fun to watch a baby learn to use their face.
He really is growing fast.
