Smiley Guy

You guys, this baby has been smiling for a few weeks now, sporadically at first, and slowly becoming more purposeful and in response to people.  I have been killing myself trying to get pictures of those first sweet smiles.  Finally, I resorted to videos.  Enjoy:

Isn't he sweet?

And to top it off, I got one picture of him smiling.

Oh my word, this is the sweetest baby ever.  He is so sweet.  So mild.  So mellow.  SO easy.  He sleeps all night.  He sleeps all morning.  He has awake time in the evening.  I think this is wise, as he is very awake when it's just calm mom and dad, and he has our undivided attention.

He's fine to be held.  Or fine to be left alone if that's the deal.  His cries amount to this, "Hey guys?"  (Pause.)  "Guys?"  (Pause.)  "Hey, just, whenever you get a chance, I'm mildly uncomfortable."  (Pause.)  "Just, whenever you get around to it, I mean, I see you have stuff going on, so if you get a chance, maybe you could change my bum?"  Maybe?  I mean, these cries are so soft, so easy to calm.  It's like someone told him, "Hey, Spence, babies cry.  And when they do, they go, "Waa."  So, dutifully, he "waa's."  But his heart isn't really in it.  :)  He's just a sweet, sweet, mellow, easy guy.
