Today, Sammy is 6 weeks old. One week ago, he weighed 10 lbs, 1 oz. Now he weighs 10 lbs, 10 oz. We’re elated to see Samuel’s growth continue to increase day by day.

Not only is his weight changing, but also his personality. He’s much more social this week than he’s been so far. We can grab his attention and hold it (for a while), and on Saturday he started smiling in response to us! What a way to melt a mom’s heart. His coos have started too. They’re the most precious sounds.
For the past couple weeks, Sean and I have been occasionally venturing out with Sammy on morning walks, but this week we established a schedule. At 7am, I wake up and rouse my menfolk for our 40-minute walk. Then Sean and I trade off watching Samuel while the other showers; then our days begin. Come 7:30pm, it’s time to start our bedtime routine, which consists of a leisurely walk around our neighborhood followed by dancing to some loud music until Samuel is getting sleepy. The night ends between 9 and 10pm, when both Samuel and I are absolutely exhausted and ready for bed.

Tomorrow, Samuel will meet his Aunt Abby. She’s currently living in Seattle, so we don’t get to see her too often. She’ll spend a few days in Gainesville with us and other friends of hers until heading down with the rest of the Shacks to Aunt Charity’s wedding on the 23rd. Both Sean and I are members of the wedding party, so Abby is going to get some good Sammy-time as she watches him during the ceremony.
