Already?!

Zade is 1 month today. Where on earth did those 4 weeks go? Time sure flies when you're sitting on a couch nursing for a month. At least that's what it feels like I did- that and only that. But a schedule is being worked on as we speak so hopefully month 2 will be a bit more productive.

What can I tell you about Zade and Dace? Well, first off, Zade was up to 9lbs 5 oz at 11 days old. The guy must have been a competitive eater in a former life because he sure can pack away the groceries. We think he is close to, if not, past 11 pounds already. We have our 6 week checkup on the 30th so we will see then. Dace was already 12 lbs at his 6 weeks and I wouldn't be surprised if Zade surpasses his record. Zade loves to laugh and smile in his sleep and we are beginning to get a few of them while awake as well. He looks at you and listens intently when you talk to him. His denim blue eyes are getting darker and clearer everyday and his baby acne was only a mild flareup. It popped up last week and is pretty much gone which is great.

Dace has had a few hard days adapting to no longer being the center of attention and our world but he loves his little brother! He holds him with pride and joy and loves giving him gentle kisses on the head. He's only given him one swat across the head and when I explained that it hurt Zade and made him cry, Dace's face crumbled and he started to cry too. But all in all, I think it is going pretty well getting the two of them acquainted.

I call this picture "20 lb turkey in the sink". The first time I bathed him in here I was amazed at how he hardly fit- and that was around 2 weeks! We finally got a photo last night. The poor guy was so squished in there but boy he sure loves the water! Yup, he's our chomba womba baby! Look at those cheeks and count all those chins!
