Six Weeks Old Already

It's hard to believe Michael is six weeks old already. At our last unofficial weigh-in, he was 10.5 pounds. He also seems to be getting longer, although I have not measured him. He's already outgrown several of his onesies, and I suddenly do not have any booties that fit him. It's almost as if those feet grew three inches over night!
His new favorite thing is to push off of you when you are holding him upright and stare straight into your eyes. He will hold his head up like that for a good five minutes before resting. It's funny to have an infant stare so intently at you like that. You wonder what he is thinking . . .
He also loves his activity center. It's the one place I can lay him for a good 20 minutes with no complaints. (Good thing . . . else I'd never get a shower!) He will stare at the objects hanging above his head and bat at them with his hands and feet. He also "talks" to them. Actually, I'd say he yells at them! LOL!
Michael is definately on target with all his developmental milestones so far, and he truly is a joy. We're still working on sleeping more than three hours at a time. Keep your fingers crossed that we reach that milestone VERY soon. Mommy needs a good night's sleep!
