Apparently as a baby, I was a very quick, determined eater- wanted to get it over with as soon as possible so I could move on to other things. Nolan is the complete opposite- he would be content to simply snack on and off all day long, laying against me 24/7. Snack, fall asleep for a little bit, snack, fall asleep for a little bit…..the only problem is Mommy has to occasionally do things like, oh I don’t know, eat, use the bathroom, and take a shower. So we’re trying to get Nolan to be a little more focused when he’s eating instead of taking 2-3 hours to complete one meal….I can’t say for sure where he get’s his slow eating habits, but there are 2 people in our family who are known to this day for being slow eaters….(not naming any names- you know who you are…)

Well Saturday and Sunday Nolan seemed extra fussy- he seemed to need to eat literally non-stop, cried voraciously when not feeding, and didn’t sleep almost all Saturday night! I think it was a growth spurt as they say infants have one between 2-3 weeks- Nolan’s behavior fit the behavior bill dead-on. And the neat thing is…I really feel like I can tell his little brain has grown! Ever since Sunday he’s been looking around him a lot more and you can tell he’s seeing new things and learning! It’s so neat to watch his face and eyes as he takes everything in around him.

Whoever said infants can’t smile hasn’t seen Ben blowing raspberries on Nolan and pretending to nibble off his ear this morning. Nolan has made other facial expressions that I could easily take for a smile but I’ve been more inclined to say it’s just gas as most would agree. However, there was no mistaking him smiling this morning. Nolan is 16 days old today.
