Harry's newest talent is smacking his lips, or smacking his tongue between his lips: we're not exactly sure. Either way, it's something akin to when he sucks his hand; that is, it may mean he's hungry, but he also could just be fidgeting. During the day, this newly discovered body sound can be rather charming: a new talent to behold from our creative young boy. However, at 4:30 in the morning, it is less endearing.

I think his mother and I have been successfully sleeping through many of Harry's sleeping noises - the ones when it sounds like he might be awake and in need of attention but he's really sound asleep - but this one is bigger and better than before and has regained our nighttime awareness. As we're well into Harry's third month, I think the novelty of being woken up in the wee hours of the morning by silly noises has a diminishing appeal. On the other hand, we just need think of the other possibilities for a baby's sleep habits and we can give Harry a lot of leeway in this regard.
