Mark took a bath in the sink today.

I know people say this all the time about their kids, but it's striking when you can watch it happen to your own kids: he is growing up so fast.

People who come to see him at intervals even as short as one week miss huge developmental shifts: he has started making voluntary happy, cooing noises; his eyesight has dramatically improved in range -- his favorite thing is now the ceiling fan in our dining room; he is holding his head up more, has better control over his arms, and has tons of alert time every day.
