Actually he is pretty low key. I don’t have much frame of reference in regards to the amount of noise produced by various babies. Yesterday’s two week check up went well. He is gaining weight and growing. Eight weeks until the next appointment. He is now taking a bottle (with breast milk) after every nursing on the breast. We are trying to transition him to longer stretches of sleep during the night. He has a lot of facial expressions. Not much of a smile though. The closest he comes is a face he makes just before crying.
