xavier is already coo-ing. i love conversing with him when he does. he is already gaining a lot of neck strength...holding his head up better (bumbo, here we come!). speaking of gaining, he's feeling pretty sturdy now! he looks so big already in his car seat. he's also sleeping for longer periods of time. the last few nights, i've had to wake him up at 1 a.m. to feed him because he had already been sleeping for 5 hours. he ate and went right back to sleep. tonight i won't wake him so that i can see how long he'll sleep. all the other boys were sleeping through the night at this point. ("through the night" meaning from midnight to 6 or 7 a.m.)

did i mention that i love him? i love him!
