Lights, Camera, Action!

Alex is already 3 weeks old! We cannot believe how quickly the time is going by. We are having so much fun with Alex. He has been a wonderful baby so far.

Today, Alex became even more fun! We have been seeing some occasional small smiles on his face, but today he was really full of smiles and coos! His favorite time of day is the morning. He usually wakes up about 9 AM, needs a new diaper, wants to nurse for a little bit, and then is ready for some play time. He is very alert and all ears during this time! Jeremiah and I have been using this time to talk to Alex, read him books, and show him toys. He mostly just enjoys looking at us and listening to us talk to him.

Today, Jeremiah had him on his lap and was talking to him when he started flashing lots of smiles! Apparently Alex likes when you rub his head and actually smiles really big after you do. He was even letting out lots of coos during this time. Needless to say, we were both just completely enthralled and excited!!

Unfortunately, the battery on the video camera was dead. =( It was really hard to catch him smiling on the still camera, but here are a couple of pictures that kind of show it. We'll keep trying to get better evidence of the smiling and cooing!!!





The day before Alex was being very cute when I changed his diaper. Here's a photo I took that shows a small little smile and his cute little dimple!
