Atli's 3rd Week

We can't believe Atli is 3 weeks old now. It doesn't sound like much but it's hard to remember life before him. He continues to become more engaging with us and the world around him.

Atli's 2nd Week

Well, all 4 of us have survived to the 2nd week. Atli has grown and changed so much in this short period of time. He's a hungry boy, so he's already out of his newborn clothes. He weighed 4kg on the 13th and no doubt has put on more weight since then. He's starting to engage more with us and be more alert/aware of his surroundings. Rosie is also starting to be more aware of him, especially when he cries. She looks at me as if to ask "What are you doing to him?".

He sleeps pretty good at night, by my account. He'll sleep in 2-3 hour bursts, and then have a couple good snoozes during the day. He doesn't seem to cry unnecessarily - yet. Which is a blessing. But that may all change.

Introducing Atli

The long awaited day came and went on the 4th of May. Our little Star Wars baby Atli was born at 9:26, weighing 8.6 lbs (3.8 kg). Aside from a little jaundice (which is normal and only makes him look tan compared to us) and a heatwave (which has rapidly faded back into cold and wet) that caused some feeding issues when he was too hot, we seem to be doing ok. He's just a joy to have and we're so thankful and delighted in his arrival.

Here are a few photos from Atli's 1st week. He's already changed so much! And grown. More to come.
