6 weeks

Joaquin is 6 weeks old, which seems like a big milestone to me, but I'm not sure why. We did introduce a bottle this week and it went well...seems he is happy just to be eating! Pumping seems like it is going to be a challenge though. Joaquin eats almost all day long and I just don't have much time (or supply) to be on the pump for any amount of time. I think we may try pumping during his long, glorious, through the night sleeps we have been so blessed with...bummer. Some pics of his first bottle:



He is such a mover. He can hold up his head for quite some time now and move it from right to left to look at things. He has also managed to army crawl his way off his boppy playmat and seems more and more interested in holding whatever his food is coming out of. Lots of cooing and talking to us too, but not alot of smiles. He seems almost studious...always exploring his surroundings.

Finally, we got the proofs back from his professional portraits. To view them, click our photographer's web site: www.shannonlottphotography.com.
