Sam Sounds

Part of our baby joy is getting to know Samuel, who is surprisingly vocal for a little (going on) 9-pounder. He snorts:

• snorts
• squeals
• grunts
• sort of hyperventilates
• coughs
• sneezes

All normal, and a lot of fun. At night, it can feel a little bit like we have a snorer in our midst. Most of the time he is either sleeping or just kind of hanging out, but he can be loud. I have the feeling he will be a big vocalizer.

He also makes interesting facial expressions. He can rapidly move from near-breakdown to pucker to pseudo-smile to squint. The pictures don't quite capture this, but it is very interesting to observe.
