Week 3

Matt spent most of week 3 growing and growing. He's already at least 10 and a half pounds - and believe me we've noticed his increased weight carrying him around.

Thanks for the onesie, Nina! 


This hasn't been a very exciting week in terms of events, as Matt has mostly spent the week eating, sleeping, getting his diaper changed, and having some alert time.


We never get tired of the many different expressions Matt can make.


In his last ultrasound before his delivery, Matt struck a similar pose, with his (large!) hand across his face. The photo made a lot more sense when we saw the pose for ourselves.


We got permission at his last pediatrician's visit to start stretching out one of his night sessions to 4-5 hours at a time. Some nights he's obliged us with a little more sleep; others he has not.

Thanks, Jen T, for the warm outfit!


Thanks, Lisa, Denis, and Wesley, for the sports onesie swap!

Matt continues to change daily. He can move his fingers independently now and is much more expressive with his hands and even feet. In addition to "waah," "aah," and "eh," his repertoire of sounds now includes "goo," "ooh," and "gee." He also has quite the collection of grunts, snorts, and other similar sounds, many of which he breaks out when he's been put down in his crib. No one told us just how noisy a baby in the lighter stages of sleep can be, especially one who's wriggling out of his swaddle. (We have a little Houdini on our hands who can't wait to get his arms out of his swaddle.) Needless to say our house isn't so quiet these days.
