look at this little chunkster! he was one month old two days ago, but with our trip to rottnest and sam leaving i haven't had a chance to get to this post, so here we are...
baby alexander has just fitted perfectly into our family. he is warm and cuddly and oh so cute. i am in love, the kids are in love, doug is great with him and it's been so easy to have him join our family. we are all just a little bit obsessed.
i have covered everything that happened at the hospital within the first week in previous posts, but here is what has happened since:
- alex had a pucker mark at the bottom of his spine, kind of like a dimple, which the hospital decided to check just to be sure. they did an ultrasound and it all came back a-ok. so okay in fact, that he was so relaxed and cozy that he fell asleep and the ultrasound tech asked us if she could have one of the girls in training come in and look because it was such a perfect still view of a babys spine, as most of them cry and won't stay still. what a good boy!
- in just two weeks, he put on almost 500g. that is phenomenal.
- a few times overnight he has slept for almost 5 hours. keep it up kid!
- he has already begun to turn his head when he hears voices he knows
- miss madeline loooooves to carry him about and show him off. a few of the mums at school have been horrified thinking she had a doll and then realised it was actually a baby!
- he just loooooves his food. just before a month old, he ate 6 times (like proper feeds, not just a little suck) between 4-9am. what a guts, no wonder he's putting on so much weight!
baby alex, you are so beautiful and we are so happy to have you in our lives! ♥
