People stop us all the time to comment about his skin tone. DH is 100% Armenian, and I am happy to see that Dom will get his skin coloring, instead of my pasty genetics. His eyes still haven't really picked a color yet, they are sort of a hazelish-brown.
Dominic has been making these little squeaky noises sometimes when he breathes, so we started calling him the Birdman. What was cute turned into concern around 6 weeks; it turns out he has laryngomalacia, and hopefully he'll grow out of it.
Here's a video with the bird noises, and showing off his new "reaching" and "grabbing" skills.
Other milestones this week:
- Drooling
- Chewing on his hands
- First trip out of town (to LA, I was attending my SIL's bachelorette party and Matt was a TROOPER and babysat all weekend)
You can really see how much darker his skin-tone is than mine!
- Holding his head up for 45-60 seconds unassisted.
- Started cooing and smiling
- Sleeping for longer stretches. 6. Hours. Let me repeat - he slept for 6 hours! It was beyond glorious!
I've also found some time to start knitting again and in a weird way, it makes things start to feel normal around here. It's a nice little "me" thing that I had to give up for about 6 weeks, and having it back in my life is a reminder of the way things were PD (pre-Dominic!)
So I finished up Peasy, and it's blocking right now:
I loooove it.

Delia, he is beyond precious. Such a gorgeous little man you've got there!
Oh my - what a cutie patootie. I love the expressions on his face in each photo. Enjoy every snuggly moment you can.
It's so funny that you mention how you're happy that he seems to have gotten the Armenian genes. I obviously took after the pasty side of my family as well and it looks like Warren is going to get his dad's dark hair, if not his skin tone (which is olive, but not particularly dark until he's in the sun a bit).
From the pictures it looks like he's got a lot of personality already! And those bird noises are adorable, even if they are a sign of some condition. :)
Oh he is just an adorable little man! I'm glad you're getting a little "me" time!
He is absolutely adorable, Delia! I love the picture where he's sticking out his tongue.
