Baby report

solipsistnationAt six and a half weeks, from a starting weight of 8 pounds 15 ounces, our young man has swollen to a startlingly gargantuan 15 and a half pounds.
That's the average weight of a 5-month old. For a 6-week-old, it's, like, 99th percentile. He dwarfs babies twice his age. He's outgrown almost all of the 0-3 month clothing we have for him.
He's smiling and (occasionally) giggling now. He hasn't quite rolled over, but if he's on kind of a slope he can push himself around and he can get from his back to his side, although he stops there, so maybe that's just as far as he wants to go. He makes eye contact with Nikki, and is starting to make eye contact with me too. (Although he'd usually rather watch the fire in the wood stove. Or the lights on the ceiling. Or, you know, other shiny things.)
He happily slept 5 hours last night. He can get his hands into his mouth most of the times he tries, although he does sometimes demand a grownup finger.
He frightens the mothers of smaller babies. And we're co-sleeping, but lately I'm more worried he'll roll over onto me.
