8 Weeks Old

Ethan is 8 weeks old now. He is definitely an easy baby and a darling. I am so very blessed. He still sleeps a lot. He'd be awake for maybe 30 minutes or so and then he'd want to sleep again. He can nap for up to 3 hours each time and at night, he'd normally sleep for 6 hours straight. If we are lucky, 7. We usually put him to bed at 10 PM at night, but it takes us about 1 hour before he'd really doze off. But we don't mind, coz he'd sleep 'til the next morning :) He'd wake up at around 5:30 - 6 AM, have a quick feed, and go back to sleep again for another 2 hours.
After feeding, I'd normally put him on his cot or my bed, and he'd be happily play by himself for about 15 minutes. This is an improvement because previously he won't want to be laid down and left alone. Now, as long as he is full and not sleepy, he is happy to just play by himself.
He started to smile more often too. The best time to catch him smiling is when he's just woken up from his sleep. He'd smile back once you greet him and talk to him.
Ethan is easily startled though, especially by sudden loud noise. But once he's in deep sleep, he is usually okay.
