6 weeks old!

William is now 6 weeks old! I think time is going by even faster with him than it did with Hannah. He is growing VERY fast...gaining 1 1/2 to 2 ounces a day! He is now over 12 pounds. Babies are supposed to double their birth weight by 6 months, but I won't be surprised if he does it by his 2 month appointment. He is quite the opposite of his sister!

William has been sleeping extremely well at night! He's been "sleeping through the night" for about 2 weeks now. He goes to bed between 8pm and 9pm and sleeps 8-10 hours straight. There were a couple mornings where I even had to wake him up to eat at 7am (I was dying from the engorgement)! I pray that he continues to be a good sleeper -- because when mama gets a good night sleep, everyone is happier :) He also started smiling at the beginning of the month. While they are pretty infrequent right now, I just can't get enough of them and spend much of my day trying to make him smile.
