John Edward Korcok at 2 months old smiles all the time. As summer wanes, the air is sweet with honeysuckle and soft music. Mom and dad posed for a picture in the dining room with a suddenly serious lad.

John hasn’t slowed his growing any over the last 4 weeks. He now weighs 14 lbs 3 oz, which is the 94th percentile for male 8-week olds and is 24.8 inches long, which is the 97th percentile for male 2-month olds. If he continues this pace, John will weigh 300 pounds and be 15 feet tall on his 10th birthday. Everyone assures us that the pace of growth will taper off soon. We will see…

John Edward has begun to smile, not only in response to his parents, but spontaneously. It’s a blast to watch him break out with one of his grins.

And it pretty much doesn’t matter where he is, the kid seems to feed off the delight he gives mom and dad.

But of course “happy” isn’t the only mood John Edward displays. At times a panoply of emotions plays across his face. In this video, John listens to Pachelbel’s Canon.

But John’s life hasn’t always been beautiful music and hand-knitted blankets. Here Little Brown Riding Hood finds himself alone with the Big Bad Wolf.
