More and more Malcolm's been noticing details around him. He loves to watch cars and people. He's not shy about sharing his smiles with everyone who gives him attention. He's becoming familiar with those he sees often and will hold his arms out when he wants to be held or picked up.
Malcolm will give kisses when he comfortable doing so. These kisses are generally wide-open slobbery mouth first head butt contacts to the face, but we call them kisses and love getting them.
As Malcolm falls asleep, we'll still catch him smiling to himself like he did when he was born. Wonder what he dreams about?
During this past month he had his first cold. His little head was full of snot and he had little coughs. Nothing serious and it didn't last too long. Just had lots of boogers to pick out of his nose for him since he hasn't figured out how to do this himself - yet.
He exercises his motor skills by grabbing with a purpose for objects around him. And sometimes that purpose is just to grab. He holds himself up on his hands and lifts head while on his belly to get a look around. We can tell he's trying to figure out how to make himself go from here. It won't be long.
The spitting up is still going strong. And when it's not spit up, his newest thing is to blow little bubbles with his drool. He loves to show people this skill.
This morning when we woke up, Malcolm greeted us with smiles. This is pretty much the way it goes every morning. We expect great big smiles in the AM to completely wear off by his adolescence if not sooner. But for now we enjoy the smiles - all day, every day.
