Silas is smiling now [ 2.9Mb Quicktime movie]! It's the sweetest, most precious thing in the world. Especially since just a few weeks ago, the idea of this happening seemed like something from an impossibly distant future.

Everything seems to be running smoother for the little guy lately. The big not-so-hidden secret around here is that Silas had a pretty rough time in the beginning. The first two months were fairly brutal in terms of his inability to find any sort of comfort or sleep, day or night. Poor little guy!

But! Things are going much smoother now. Thank all of you who prayed for us and helped us out -- we've been blessed with the nicest family and friends a [formerly] screaming baby and his parents could ask for!
