5 Weeks Old, First Smiles

Our baby boy is now 5 weeks old. Time is going by so quickly! We had our one month well-baby appointment and he weighs 9 lbs 3 oz! They were very happy with his progress and impressed that he could hold his head up so well when on his tummy (apparently something a two month old typically does)!

We are now seeing some smiles from Benjamin, which are so sweet. A lot of times he will stare at your face and then give you a smile. He also has been saying 'ahh' a lot, which is fun to hear! It had otherwise been a lot of grunting and some crying. Hopefully he will start to 'coo', too!

Finally, here Benjamin is in his pack'n'play and in his pajamas. This is how he typically looks in his pack'n'play - alert, never asleep. He sometimes sleeps in his crib, but mostly in his swing. Despite my efforts, he has stopped sleeping in the pack'n'play!
