My first Halloween costume

I'm a chile pepper!

Smiling

Samuel just started this week to smile in response to us.

Sometimes, he doesn't like to sleep by himself in the evening, so a few times, I've held him from about 10pm-2am. I sort of enjoy it--hanging out with him--but it's a little painful the next day.

Pooping and seborrhea

Samuel had a bad case of constipation this week, not pooping for 2 days after being a regular 8x/day guy for most of his life.  So I wasn't too fazed by Annette's request yesterday morning at 5:30 am to go something to relieve our little guy.  I picked up some Pedia-Lax which worked like a charm after 15 minutes, though the lack of a tapered tip made the the dispenser look very formiddable. 

Also, Samuel has gotten pretty bad seborrhea on his face and body.  Annette got some really nice calendula cream which seems to be working amazingly well.

1 month old

So far so good. We are glad Samuel is not colicky. He has some new seborrhea all over his body, especially his face and scalp, but he doesn't seem too bothered by it. He's just bumpy all over. He's going in for his 1 month check tomorrow. Compared to Joshua's photo at around the same, I guess they look pretty similar.
