4 Weeks old

I took Quinn to the lovely nurse Felicity for his 4 week checkup yesterday. He now weighs 4.1kg and is 56cm. His birth weight was 3.2kg and he was 52cm, so he's growing fabulously! Aside from a bit of a snotty nose, probably because I had a cold, he's doing fabulously! He's a very chilled out little boy and has a wonderful temprament.
He's sleeping pretty well and if I can manage to stay up for a 10-11 feed, then he only wakes up once in the night, which helps all of us be in a better mood the next day! We're settling in to a routine and things are going well. Alex loves him to bits and always asks to hold him, I know she cant wait until he's old enough to do ANYTHING other than lie around looking at us. Edward a devoted father, but I do wish he'd stop working so much and spend more time at home with us. Hey ho, such is life. I haven't really suffered from baby blues, I think it's been more a case of cabin fever, I just love the days where Quinn and I can get out and do things together, that said, he's getting very good at watching me doing the housework so I hope he grows up to be a useful man around the house!! We've had some fun shopping together, going on the odd drive and yesterday he even had to discover the joys of how annoying and frustrating the Knysna Department of Labour is, shame, poor child.
I often wonder what Quinn would say to me if he could speak.... at bath time, IF its a warm day I get the paintbrush out and make little paint footprints for all my thank-you cards. Its quite a tricky business because normally after doing 1 foot twice, he works out that it tickles so he wriggles and then I have to stop as the footprints become a bit smudged. That said, we really do have a lot of fun together!! Must run and change that nappy again!
