6 Weeks

Ethan is 6 whole weeks old today. He is changing so much. He has been a lot more alert and interactive this past week. We are loving and enjoying every minute with him, even those 3am minutes. Although, we wouldn't mind if he skipped a few of those! Really, he's sleeping 3-4 hour stretches at night (getting up twice) so that's not too bad. We took a video of him standing "on his own" with mommy's help for a little balance! His little legs are so strong and he'll hold himself upright a lot of the time.

I have seen him smile at me a couple of times, too. But, I'm not really sure if he meant to do it yet or not. Today, I took a couple of pictures of him while he was sleeping in my arms, so that's why the quality of the pictures aren't the best. He gets his eyes and his mouth moving when he is sleeping and I get to see him practicing his smile.

He has also been losing some of his hair lately. I don't know what's going on with that, but he still has all of his hair on the back and sides--only losing the top part, so he looks like an old man with male pattern baldness. I'm sure it will come back, but for now he looks kind of silly. Poor little guy...
