Three Weeks

We went from two weeks to three overnight! 

Adam is growing like a little weed - I weighed him at home today and he was 8 pounds, 3 ounces.  Sleep is still a little hard to come by - 3 hours has been our longest stretch to date.  Oh well, at least he's cute enough to be worth the bloodshot eyes! 

Not too many milestones yet.  We did take our first bath this week at home (we had previously been doing sponge baths because his little bellybutton was still oozing.)  He actually didn't mind it!  He HATED the sponge baths, but once his little bottom was completely submerged in the water, he seemed to be pretty happy!  However, we are not a fan of water on the head.  That's okay though - it will come.   He seems to be pretty close to cooing - he's starting to make little noises before he cries that sound like little complaints or grunts - I'm sure the happy coos are close behind.  And I can't wait for his first real smile.  He smiles like crazy while he's alseep and has started full blown laughing in his sleep.  Why do babies do that?  I'll have to Google it to find out.  In the meantime, I've seen the previews and now I'm ready for the real deal!

Tomorrow we are going on our first playdate - to a coworker/friend's house who has a son who was born 2 weeks before Adam.  It's our first mom & Adam outing by ourselves (not counting the trips to the doctor.) 

Until next week...
