We are slowly learning more about Samuel. He is a pretty even-keeled, curious baby. He is (sometimes) happy to just sit and observe the world. His main hobbies are sleeping and pooping.
He is fairly good at focusing right now. He responds enthusiastically to voices, often shifting his gaze to meet the speaker. He sometimes pays attention to whistling or singing--it will be interesting to see which of the musical, athletic, aesthetic, or intellectual gifts he receives and develops.
He still has baby eyes: the slate blue of newborns that will give way to green, blue, or brown in months 3-6. They are very attentive looking, and baby gazing is now one of our hobbies.
He is gaining weight at a good clip now. Emily weighed him at the neighbors' yesterday, and he was 8lb. 4 oz., which is probably more than a pound since leaving the hospital nine days ago.
He has a very cool birthday. He was born on Good Friday (although it won't coincide with his birthday for another 145 years), and the date is 3 21. Interestingly, I know of Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday birthdays this year (one to a neighbor, the other the grandaughter of someone at our church).
I am feeling a little distracted by all of the baby excitement, and am not wanting to work right now. I hope that the desire to work comes back with time. It helps that there are only another 4-5 weeks in the semester.
