The boy is embarked on an unexpectedly long nap. I wish there was a pre-signal; I'd have napped myself if I'd known this was going to be a big one and not a 30-minute snooze, but it's too late now - he'll be up in half an hour.

He is two weeks old, and really not that much different from one week. His hair is actually a fairly light brown (when it's clean) and his eyes are clearing up from dark mud to a dark dark blue-gray. He still is an excellent nurser. He's still not a reliable sleeper, but usually gives us a couple of good 3-hour stretches at night and then throws us a 1-2 hour awake period. Unfortunately Casper tends to have a nightmare during one of the long Dillo sleeps - how does she KNOW?

He doesn't take a lot of attention, really. This stage of babyness is, to be unsentimental about it, sort of larval - they eat, sleep, poop and you wait for them to develop into something with a little more personality. Dillo has a temperment - pretty laid-back, more so than Casper, or maybe the parents are more laid back, eh? - but he's basically just an eat-and-sleep machine. Who makes cute faces sometimes.

Casper has taken to picking out his outfits in the morning, which charms me.

I am rather bored, but too tired to take on anything much except minor household projects and The Internets. Had a lengthy dream about work (the Library of Congress reclass, and theft of the contractor's server) last night.
