He's Growing!

 Evan is growing!  Here are two pictures taken 20 days apart that show how much he's grown.  In the May 1st picture, on the right, you see less of the car seat behind his head.

Evan is a very good eater, he eats every 4-5 hours and is an enthusiastic eater.  If I don't stop him from nursing, most of the time he will keep eating until he gets sick.  If he roots around for more I'll let him eat more, but usually if I stop him after 20 minutes he'll go to sleep.  He's been a pretty good sleeper at night too.  I generally feed him around 11:00 and then again around 4:00, but for some reason every single night after the 4:00 feeding he becomes a really loud sleeper.  He grunts and moans and makes all kinds of noise that makes it impossible for Eric and I to sleep, but he will sleep on until 8:00 or 9:00.

His eye contact has gotten really great this week too.  Evan and Nadie even had a starring contest this morning.  He's also starting to smile.  He's always been a smily baby--his reflexes I guess, but this week he has actually smiled at me, which is just too cute!
