Johan laughed last week! His laugh is a bit of an odd sound, but he throws his smiling mouth open and lets out some chuckles every now and then, which is quite exciting. I can't wait to hear a real giggle. He makes some other, new and interesting noises now too -- soft growls and shrieking squawks that appear to communicate happiness.
Johan is also getting more able with his hands. This week, when he and I were hanging out with Granny, he succesfully reached for and picked up (albeit quite awkwardly) each of the little toys I placed on the table in front of him.
He has also figured out how to make a lovely pouting face. I will try my best to get a picture of it. He sticks his bottom lip out and gazes sadly up at strangers, and sometimes at us. I'm not sure if he really realizes he's doing it.
Other news: for the first time last weekend, Johan slept through the night: from 9:45 to 5:45. Unfortunately, I was so surprised that I woke up every hour and a half to check and see if he was all right. The following night, lest I take the hours of rest for granted, Johan of course had a really bad night, getting up to feed at one and three and then at five-thirty getting up for good.
Nonetheless, Johan has now repeated the feat a few times, falling asleep at about 9:30 then feeding only once at night, around 4:30. I just wish he would then go on to sleep past 7:00, which he seems unable to do.
That's all for now!
