It is hard to believe our little son is already 3 1/2 weeks old, however, to look at him, it is hard to believe he is ONLY 3 weeks old! So, what have we been up to in the last week or so?? Mommy went back to the doctor--healing great! (finally!) and I don't have to go back to the doctor until my 6 week check up! Mommy also started driving again. That has been fun! We can actually get out of the house now!
Alexander is holding his head up more and cooing more, instead of just crying. We attempted to take a few outdoor photos but once we were outside we came to the realization that he didn't like the sun in his eyes, so that was a big negative! :-) Hopefully in the next week or so, we will have his 1 month photos as well as a family picture taken.
Alexander enjoys listening to daddy sing to him and likes being carried like a football. He loves tummy time--I think it has more to do with soothing his aching tummy. We still have our nights where he goes through an hour time span where nothing makes him happy. Some days are definitely better than others. Eric has discovered by getting up with him at night, that Alexander enjoys listening to jazz on the XM while he gets his bottle. We have also discovered that Alexander is more of a morning person--hard to get him back to bed after his 4am/5am feeding.
This last week he has enjoyed going over to Nana Ann's. He gets spoiled there--always being held and being shown off to whomever might drop by. We even made a trip out to Auntie Toni's house and met her 2 "boys". Alexander can't wait until he is big enough to play with them as they are gigantic balls of energy!
We are still working on getting him on a schedule--more like a routine. It is as tough for him as it is us--how about this..we made a trip to Walmart at 11pm just the other night! Alexander slept right through it, but we got some much needed shopping done!! He has absolutely hated baths until last pm. We had been bathing him in the kitchen sink where all he did was scream at the top of his lungs. So, last pm, I got out the baby bathtub and set it up. He still cried because he really doesn't like having his clothes off, but was much easier consoled, as he fell asleep as soon as I wrapped him in his towel. I can't wait for the day where he will love a bath and I have to pry him from there to go to bed!
Here are a few pictures that we have taken over the past week or so.
Enjoy--
