baby Peter is growing up fast! Today he is exactly 6 weeks old. He gets stronger and louder with each passing day. He holds his head up for longer periods, and is more alert during the daylight hours. He can follow the sound of our voices or the noise from a rattle. He loves to sit in his bouncy chair, which is great for mom (it usually gives me a 20-30 minute block of happy time). PK hates to lay on his stomach, and so at 5 weeks old he has already taught himself to roll over from belly to back! He likes to eat, and sometimes spends over 40 minutes doing so (we're working on that one). Other than that he is healthy and happy. We are starting to see a break in the colic cycle, and the best news of all is that he is sleeping 6-8 hours at night!

The top picture featured is from Thanksgiving Day at Grandma Daley's. Heather was so excited to hold the baby. You can't see very well from the photo, but Peter has the cutest outfit of jeans and a button-down shirt, including skater shoes from Aunt Kelly. The second picture down is an old one from the hospital right after PK was born. He has such a cute little face, even when he is screaming! The third picture is Peter with his Great Grandma Tenney. I posted it because he looks so alert and curious, and he loved being held by her. We love you Peter!
