and weighs 11.3 pounds, up from 10.2 pounds at 6 weeks. He is getting so chunky and big! He smiled for the first time at 6 weeks old, but hasn't done it very often!
He is also sleeping very well. He first slept through the night (8 hours) at 5 weeks old, and it was hit or miss for the next two weeks. Some nights he'd go as long as 8.5 hours, but then I think he hit a growth spurt and was back to 4 hours. For the last few nights, he has been fed around 10-10:30, and slept until 6am, and this morning he even slept until 7am! This is making a big difference. In everything!

Daniel's good sleeps did coincide with the week Andy had to go to Mexico City for work, which was so helpful. I was very worried about handling both boys by myself for the first time, especially with Danny still so little. But John had it all figured out. When he heard Andy was going to be gone, he told me "Mama, we won't be sad while Daddy is gone. God expects little boys named Johnny to take care of mommies and babies. So we will be happy." He is such a little sweetheart.

Whenever Danny fusses in the car, John will sing to him. Current favorite is "You Are My Sunshine", complete with customized final line "Please don't take my Danny away." So sweet.

Apparently John was watching Alice in Wonderland at school, and he wanted to finish it at home, starting at "the part with the two guys. (pause) Hum-Dee and Hum-Dee-Doo".

John has been really into Smurfs lately, and he says his favorite Smurfs are Handy Smurf, Jokey Smurf, and Clumsy Smurf. He may not realize it, but he picked those three because they are just like him!
