3 Weeks Old!

Little man is growing fast!  He already feels much heavier, his head is looking huge to me and his wrists and cheeks seem to be filling out a bit.  He's eating about 12-15 times a day this past week which is exhausting for me, but I'm happy that he's growing and that I can provide him with his food.  We're over the thrush issues though I have some residual soreness.  I went to a La Leche League meeting on Monday to get some breastfeeding support and the ladies there were helpful and validating to my issues and feelings.  It's great to have all this community support available to me.

This picture is from December 22nd on our first walk near the beach.  He seemed to enjoy being carried in his sling!

This picture is of Enzo and Esme (my friend Deborah's little girl) on Christmas day.  Esme was 10 days old and Enzo 15 days old.  They will grow up to be best friends I'm sure!

We've spent a few mornings here trying to get a good photo of Enzo for the birth announcement.  Here's a picture from Thursday that is good, but that we're not using.  Tie-dye courtesy of Grandma Sheila via Wheatland of course!

And here he is today in his baby jail outfit!  

And lastly, thank you all for the outpouring of Christmas/Chanukah/baby gifts!  I will get to everyone individually soon to thank you, but I wanted to  let everyone know how much we appreciate our friend's and family's generosity!

Happy New Year!

Lorenzo certainly is filling out beautifully. Must be all the good nourishment he is taking in.
The picture of he and Esme is a real winner. You should enlarge it and have it framed. Absolutely priceless.
