Loves looking at his balloons, sucking on his fingers,

smiling big, being spoiled, sitting up in his bouncy chair & looking at everything

around him, flirting with the nurses. turning his head and looking when someone

talks to him. Is very strong and fights when he does not want to be messed with.

sleeping though the nights a lot more.

Looking at drawings Mikala made for him. His birdie mobile. Mommy holding him.

 staying awake during the day,

opening his eyes and looking at us when we talk to him.
