Kids will be Kids

I feel it is appropriate that I'm starting this topic in the middle of the night. (Up feeding baby! )
I think a good many of you know by now that I became a first-time mom last fall to my sweet little Evan. So I thought it might be fun to start a baby and kids topic. I think only a small handful of us actually have kids, but I know a good many of you all have siblings. Feel free to share funny stories, tips for this newbie mom, and whatever else floats your boat.
Here are a few little tidbits about my Evan.
~He was a micro-preemie, born several weeks early, he weighed in at 1lb 11oz. He was in the NICU for 81 days, but despite his dramatic and early entry into the world, he did miraculously well. They tell everyone in the NICU that it's two steps forward, one step back, but with Evan it was more like 10 steps forward and one step back. He's been home for over two months now and is doing great!
~Evan has slate-grey eyes. I don't think I've ever seen this before in a baby (not that I've been around a lot of babies.) No idea what color they will turn.
~Most people think he looks like me, but I see a pretty even mix of my husband's features and my own.
~Evan is a very content and contemplative little baby. He likes to look around and check things out. He doesn't smile a whole lot (except for daddy ) but he also doesn't cry very much either.
As he's so little, I don't have a lot of stories yet, but I have no doubt they will come in time. Obligatory picture.
