Update

Mommy took Luke to the Dr today and he's progressing perfectly. He weighs 8lbs. Looks like his eyes are going to start to turn, hazel like yours truly--and full of wonderment. I've noticed he likes to look around while I walk him around the house in my arms; he likes to watch fan blades whir round and round.

Erin still (breast) feeds him, round the clock, every 2 hrs. To cope with the light coming on all the time, I've developed a little trick: I keep a black dress sock draped over the headboard on my side of the bed. When Erin flicks on her lamp to feed baby, I reach up, grab the sock, and drape it over my eyes. I especially enjoy this technique on weekends.

Still using the 5 Ss: Swaddle, Shhhh, Shake (gently), Side, & Suck--though he rarely cries hard enough to advance to the 5th S. I offer him a pacifier whenever I think about it, but he spits it out more often than not.
Basically, as Eardleymon once told me: "It's all about the swaddle." Sage advice, Eardleymon.
In the words of Biggie Smalls: "If you don't know, now you know..."

Good luck to all our baby buddies out there, and especially to Jay & Bonnie--they're next! :)
