Too much TV, young man

Back a few month, Amanda and I planned to do everything in our power to keep our baby away from the constant babble of the television. We figured he'd gravitate to it on his own later on, so we should try to minimize that early on.
Then I noticed yesterday we've had the thing on for many, many hours since we got back. It was mostly background noise for us as we tried to calm the youngster down or let him sleep or whatever. But, as Amanda pointed out, babies aren't very good at separating background noise from other things -- such as Amanda and me speaking to him.
So we're cutting out his TV listening. As of yesterday, we've been playing music almost all the time (mostly jazz (Ellington, Monk, Parker) with some classical thrown in). The TV remains on to dull the wits of the parents, but we're using the closed captioning so it doesn't bother the little guy.

Other fun
I was just looking at some other pictures and movies I took of Nathaniel at the hospital. I have a short movie of him getting his diaper changed in the ICU. During it, he starts crying away. I think he heard himself crying, because he went from a nice sleep to starting to cry in the other room. He's got some good hearing.
