Three and half weeks

Time flies when you don't change out of your pajamas. I realized today that I need to update this blog with tons of pictures of Alex in his first three weeks. Has that much time really gone by? Wow. Everyone was right when they said the first few months fly by.

Well, to update everyone:
-Alex is a pretty good sleeper, a great eater and is rarely very fussy. He has his moments, of course, but I think he's a pretty easy going baby overall.
-Mommy has successfully spoiled Alex because now he likes to not only be held all the time, but also walked around. Sitting and holding is not enough for my child.
-Alex is starting to enjoy his swing and bouncy chair a bit more. For why he doesn't like them, see above (why did I start carrying him around with me all the time?)
-Oh, additionally on the spoiled front, he will only sleep at night if he goes to sleep on my chest. Alas, I have a baby that sleeps in the bed with me. Not what I envisioned. We're working on breaking him of this habit. But I have a feeling it's me that needs to be re-programmed.

Justin and I have agreed to take him on his first public outing once he's five weeks old. I think I'm more excited about that than anything else. I feel a bit like a vampire (or college student) since the only time I get out of the house is at night right now. But I have enjoyed hanging out with Alex. He's a pretty entertaining companion.

And now, as promised, pictures:

We cannot get his to sleep on his back - he's such a little old man:

Alex has found hair! He was screaming the other day and I couldn't figure out why until I noticed he was grabbing and pulling his own hair. Here he's practicing his new "trick" on his poor daddy:

Alex marked his great grandfather:
