People stop us all the time to comment about his skin tone. DH is 100% Armenian, and I am happy to see that Dom will get his skin coloring, instead of my pasty genetics. His eyes still haven't really picked a color yet, they are sort of a hazelish-brown.
Dominic has been making these little squeaky noises sometimes when he breathes, so we started calling him the Birdman. What was cute turned into concern around 6 weeks; it turns out he has laryngomalacia, and hopefully he'll grow out of it.
Here's a video with the bird noises, and showing off his new "reaching" and "grabbing" skills.
Other milestones this week:
- Drooling
- Chewing on his hands
- First trip out of town (to LA, I was attending my SIL's bachelorette party and Matt was a TROOPER and babysat all weekend)
You can really see how much darker his skin-tone is than mine!
- Holding his head up for 45-60 seconds unassisted.
- Started cooing and smiling
- Sleeping for longer stretches. 6. Hours. Let me repeat - he slept for 6 hours! It was beyond glorious!
I've also found some time to start knitting again and in a weird way, it makes things start to feel normal around here. It's a nice little "me" thing that I had to give up for about 6 weeks, and having it back in my life is a reminder of the way things were PD (pre-Dominic!)
So I finished up Peasy, and it's blocking right now:
I loooove it.
