How big is he, Pinkin? I think Sawyer is about 11 lbs now.

Hobbers, Sawyer is bigger than Lillian! She's still about 10 lbs and still has her chicken legs!

tonight we made mashed potatoes and DS2 put it all over his head...like shampoo! DS2 is my mischievous boy and he totally lived up to it today!

Here is Lillian, sleeping as usual, just a few minutes ago, in her swing:

Attachment 6171

I haven't been able to capture a smile from her yet because she hasn't really given me a smile yet. I see her smile in her sleep, but apparently, she'll smile for DH a lot. Since I've been back at work, those two are really bonding and i love seeing it. Tonight he voluntarily held her without me having to ask for it a few times and I thought it was really sweet.

the picture of Ivy was so cute! thanks for sharing! And sawyer is soo chunky! Lillian's still my smallest baby, and it almost feels weird...because the boys were so fatty in their thighs and wrists....her cheeks have rounded out some, but she's still so tiny compared to the boys.

She seems to be in a rush to get out....

Oh wow! Crazy day for you! I hope her heart rate stays down for you!! let us know how your next monitoring goes. :)

Ahhhh! Auroara! That picture of your DS with the mashed potatoes in his hair is HILARIOUS! That is totally something my DD2 would have done. ANd Lillian is cute as ever!

HEy everyone, I am worried that Sawyer isn't making eye contact yet. Is it too early for that? You think I would remember after 3 other kids, but I don't. I am worried about him being autistic. :worry: He is only 5 1/2 weeks, so I don't know when eye contact and smiling usually happens, but he isn't doing either. :(

Hobber, from what I know, that's still pretty early. Ivy is still working on her coordination and only holds contact for a little bit. I don't think folks even *really* worry about autism until around 2 years as babies can develop so differently. I'd ask about it if it's still an issue around 2 months.

Hobbermittens, I don't think it's too much of a worry :hugs:
DD didn't make any proper eye contact with me or barely even smiled until she was 8 and half weeks! I remember it because I myself was freaking out over the fact that she wasn't looking at me like the boys did.
But I worried for no reason! She's perfectly fine now, and loves smiling :o She's my happiest toddler.

Thanks for the reassurance, ladies. :heart::heart: I hope he's just fine and starts looking at me soon.

Lynxie, tell me about Ivy's reflux. Sawyer does weird stuff like choke when he is nursing, and gag sometimes, and gags sometimes when he's just sitting in his bouncy seat. He spits up after every feeding, but a few times he has actually vomited a LOT of milk, enough to soak me and the Boppy pillow and part of the couch!
