Doctor Appt and Kackie & Pops Visit

We took Anders to his 2 week appointment. He was given high marks for weight gain, putting on almost 2 pounds since his last appointment to reach 9 lbs, 11 oz. He only added 1/4 of an inch in length, though.

As you can see, Anders still sleeps a lot. But in the last few days, he has started to get a lot more alert. So I commit this weekend to get you some shots of him with his eyes open, maybe one smiling. Have I mentioned that he laughs in his sleep? He started this on his 10th day, and the first time I saw/heard it, it totally freaked me out. So I dug around on the Internet and found that this is not common but not unusual either. A recent study found kids as young as Anders laughing in their sleep and determined that emotion develops much younger than we thought. But the question remains: what does a newborn find funny?

Kackie and Pops came to visit and are staying for the week. Here they are cuddling up with Anders. He is very cuddly. And he smells like baby powder.
