Carlos Nicolas turns 3 weeks

It's been an amazing three weeks - amazing adjustment, amazingly little sleep, amazingly lot of laundry...He doubled his age and nearly doubled his weight! It turns out that I have super food as breast milk as Carlito appears to be adding pounds each day. He regained his birth weight in 4 days and added 2 lbs in a 1.5 weeks. Carlos thinks he weighs 13 lbs now...We go to the doctor again in a week so we'll find out then. But he has already outgrown many of his clothes and diapers!

We thought we were so prepared with baby things - but it seems you can't really be sure what will be useful until the baby comes along. For instance the hospital baby outfit was so great that Carlos went back and asked for more; pee-pee tee-pees are proving to be key (thanks to baby Wallis for sending them - I guess she has taken control of the credit card); multiples are super important - multiple favorite swaddling blankets, multiple sheets, multiple changing table covers, multiple hooded towels...multiples are key as I am running my laundry machine into the ground. He seems to like to mark his territory - peeing on everything!

In just 3 weeks he has changed so much. We were looking at pictures of the day he was born and were surprised how much he has changed since then. He sends much more time awake now. He loves to look at the light and out windows. Sometimes he seems totally captivated by nothing! He is still a prolific poo-er so the onesie that Soogy made is still appropriate. He loves bath time too (or maybe it's just me who loves it) and most of all he likes being held with his face against your chest. But his all time favorite activity is eating (hence the picture of him on his boppy happy as can be)

Aunt Mandy came by for a visit and fixed his car seat positioning so now we are safe for car travel and thus more mobile. thank goodness! I think we were both getting sick of sticking to a 10 block radius...
