the newest development over the past few days is smiling! yup, our little guy has started to smile at us :-) his first smile was at his great-grandma (above). he's smiled at least 3 times that we've witnessed, but the camera's never around when he does it. hopefully he'll become more predictable with his smiles and we`ll be able to capture it!
he`s also starting to make little noises...it`s so cute. we`re not sure what he`s trying to tell us, but we`re listening intently.
i`ve finally realized that gabe`s flaking scalp is due to cradle cap. i was surfing the internet and found an easy natural remedy...a 15 minute scalp soak with olive oil before his bathtime. we`ve done it twice on him, and noticed a slight improvement. i also bought dimpleskins avocado soap to wash his face and hands. i`ve only been using warm water until now, but his skin`s been drying out, and he gets a bit smelly from the vomit :P the soap has helped a lot...followed by aveeno baby lotion. i don`t think i`ve been moisturizing him enough...he`s definitely inherited dry skin from both me and chris :P
