Little John Robert has been going out to see the world more and more over the past week or so. He's been to the dog park three or four times already. We went to see the Angel Oak with my mom, and he attended his first concert on his 5-week birthday (he saw Plain Jane play at Patriot's Point). He's been out to restaurants, too, with minimal incidents. Just last night he made it through a whole meal at Outback without fussing.
He's smiling now. Not all the time, but it's getting to be more and more common to get a big cheery grin out of him. I'm sure Megan sees that a lot more than I do, now that she's spending most of her day at home with him. She's been great, even letting me sleep while she changes and feeds him in the middle of the night when I have to work the next morning. I know there's not much I could really do to help when she's breastfeeding anyway, but I still feel guilty sleeping through that stuff.
His feeding schedule has changed over the last couple days. Now he's eating more often, and almost always seems to be hungry. It must be another growth spurt. He's definitely getting bigger. Some of his "0-3 months" clothes are getting too small. We're already starting to use some of the "3-6 months" clothes... and he's not even a month and a half yet!
John Robert and Megan are at the breastfeeding group as I write this. He gets weighed there, and we're considering that the "official" weight for now, so when they're back, we'll see how much he's packed on since weighing in at 10 lbs two weeks ago. I'm betting on 12 lbs, Megan thinks it's 11 and a half.
