I don't want to jinx this, but...
almost eleven weeks
...I think Evan may be turning the corner of his colic phase. This last week he has been all happiness and smiles, hardly having a fussy moment unless he's sleepy or something. He also seems to be developing quickly now (physically, mentally, etc.). He has been doing more of the deep knee bends, where he wants to be held up and he bends his knees over and over again, or else he stomps, one leg at a time. I had him in the new mom's group on Monday, and he was laying on his tummy, propping himself up on his elbows. I didn't actually notice it (or know that this was a big deal), but one of the other moms pointed it out and was impressed. He stays there for about a minute. He is also cooing and smiling a lot more. He does this cute thing where he'll smile at us, then smile bigger, then his tongue touches the roof of his mouth, then he coos or makes some cute noise almost like a giggle, then he'll turn his head to the side, still smiling, as if shy. Then we'll say something else funny and he'll do the same thing all over again.

Oh! I don't mean to brag, but there's one more good thing. We got to watch an entire movie tonight! He slept during Chicago (quite a long movie, and very good). We wouldn't have dreamed of trying to watch a movie a month ago. It was glorious. We really appreciate the little things now.

The biggest challenge right now is when I go to night school and Jery tries to feed him with a bottle, he cries. He really only wants to eat one way (cafe mom's). Jerry's been trying to find creative ways to sneak the bottle into his mouth just to get something in his tummy, without him really noticing. More on that later.
