Nicholas is 2 weeks old today! It's hard to believe that it's already been that long, and yet that only that much time has gone by, but we've noticed lots of changes, big and small.
He seems to have gotten so much bigger, although our scale is not accurate enough to measure his growth.
He has established a rough daily routine, although last night he was having trouble with it. He can now pick his head up and turn it while on his belly. He did this for the first time a week ago, but that first time it seemed accidental, whereas now he seems to be able to control it.
He absolutely loves looking at lights, either looking at the window or at lamps. The chandelier in the dining room is his favorite.
He loves to be held, especially with his head near our hearts. The sound of our heartbeats, or even better, the vibrations of Joe singing, are soothing to him.
We have gone on a few errands and he loves the motion of both the car and the stroller.
He really loves his hands, but despite our best efforts we can't keep his nails short enough to prevent scratching, so he still spends most of his time with mittens on.
He has a couple of hilarious faces we haven't been able to document because they come and go so quickly. One is the one we call his "old man face," that often appears when he is stretching, and involves scrunching his face. This one usually leads us to laugh at him. The other is his "portrait pose," when he situates himself on our chests with his arms under his head, looking like a cherub.
