Baby Man has started smiling and laughing. It makes all the fussy times worth it, and I'm not getting so overwhelmed now. He has grown so much already. I'm torn between wanting him to stay small and wanting him to get big enough to play and explore with us... and do things like sit independently for 30 minutes while we cook or do chores. We're still having trouble getting much done because he always wants to be held. But it is getting better.
