He: >Laughs! Sometimes! Well…he’s done it a few times anyway. >Also smiles at anyone that looks him in the face. >Wears 6-9 month clothes, but is in between the small and medium diaper sizes, so he tends to leak at the moment. I have to send at least three pairs of pants with him each day just in case. >Still has the bump on his head from his cephalohematoma.
