The Obligatory "What He Can Do Now" Update

I haven't been mentioning this stuff, because it has the feel of inevitability, but if you're checking this regularly, chances are you want to hear about it so...

He is smiling a lot in the last week, is tracking pretty well, and loves to tense up his whole body so that it seems like he's standing up for very short periods before getting freaked out. But, mostly, he is just generally becoming much more aware of the world around him.

He is, of course, constantly on the lookout for faces while awake. He is also growing quite admirably, outgrowing some of the 0-3 mo clothes at an alarming rate.


The other thing of note is that he very often looks exactly like Ruby did, to the point where I don't think I'd be able to tell which one of them some pictures are without already knowing. I was talking to Walt, who said that Cecil is starting to look more like Aubrey, which I've noticed as well. Interesting, those two started out looking nothing alike and are converging (at least at this very early juncture), whereas we can only assume that Ruby and Lupe look remarkably alike at the same age, yet their appearance will diverge as he develops into himself. I assume, anyway. I just can't imagine him becoming a male copy of Ruby...
