Deirdre and Henry

Deirdre and Henry
Originally uploaded by dyrlac.

Here's Deirdre and Henry (at 8 weeks and 2 days old, on December 24). Henry has good head control and waves his arms around a lot. Like Nat, he hates being on his tummy. He actually does seem to enjoy smiling at people* (unlike Nat at this age, who was very reluctant to smile), and is fairly talkative with the cooing and other vocalizations.

*other than Daddy, who did not consistently receive a legitimate, clearly non-gas-related, smile from the son who he delivered with his own hands, until shortly before this picture was posted in early January.
