Relaxing

I realize that there haven't been very many action shots on this blog recently, but part of the reason for that is that the children that are the most active are currently not around to be photographed, and William, though he has many sterling qualities, is somewhat limited in his sphere of activity.

He does, however, relax very well.

His preferred relaxing venue is on one of his parents, but he's willing to settle for bouncers and whatnot in a pinch.  In fact, as I type this, he's lying on a pillow right next to me, probably in violation of many safe sleep practices, but it does seem that if I'm sitting here with a hand on him, he probably won't stop breathing without my noticing and doing something about it.

I hesitate to make any sweeping generalizations about his character, but he is a good eater (he gained 3/4 of a pound between Friday morning and Monday morning), and he can sleep for relatively long periods of time, so I'm hoping that that is really part of who he is, and not just something he's doing for the first week of his life.

He has started being awake for longer periods of time (sometimes even in the daytime, which is a bonus) and has been looking around him.  He responds to voices pretty well, and last night got absolutely enthralled with a corner of the room.  So he's being a baby pretty well.
