Four Weeks

Alexander is Four Weeks old today, not quite a month but Four Weeks. It's gone by so quickly. Maybe Grammie or Grandpa in NJ will get him a pony for his Month Birthday. Haa.

This week has been a very lowkey week and I think the weather has played a very large role in that. We've been hit with a spring-type Nor'easter and have been pummeled with wind & rain. Not ideal for going out. There is not a whole lot to post about because Alexander is doing exactly what he's supposed to be doing. Eating, pooping & sleeping. He may not be sleeping when we would want, but he does sleep. So we can't complain. However there is one thing we can praise & one thing we can complain about. He's very strong. I mean unbelievably strong for a newborn. The strength in his limbs is insane - did you ever think you'd need two adults to hold down a leg so you can finish changing his diaper? He also holds his head up quite a bit.
And for our small complaint... this little guy grunts all the time. I wonder if it's because he's finding his voice. It used to be grunting just when he was going the bathroom, now he grunts all the time. And it's frustrating when he wakes himself up because his grunts are so loud. Oh well.

He has his One Month check-up next week and my only hope is that he's gained the right amount of weight. I'm sure he has because he's been eating well but he just feels little to me. On the plus side, his diaper rash is all but gone, so that makes him & us a bit happier.

Since the sun is out today - we're going to go out and take advantage of it but I'll leave you with some pictures from this week.
