We are a happy family

We've got into some good routines and everything is going well. Preston has been putting on weight - I think I was unnecessarily worried by the Plunket lady. She came again and everytime she took a measurement would say "Hmmm, ok" and I would say "what - is something wrong?" and she would reply "um, ..... no .... everything's fine" which didn't leave me feeling too confident. And she wrote all these things in my plunket book that she was potentially concerned about. Then when I went to Preston's baby checkup at the doctors, they wondered why she had worried me when he is perfectly healthy, strong, supercute and everything. So it was all a waste of worrying about nothing.

He has grown 5cm in length since he was born, and his head circumference has increased by 3 or 4 cm, so he has grown out of his newborn clothes and hats (i had been thinking "what a silly hat - it doesn't even stay on" and then i tried another hat and of course the problem was that his head was far too big for it!). So now we are into the 0-3 month sized clothes and we were very lucky and had lot of presents from people - Preston has a giant wardrobe! I'm having fun dressing him in all his cute gears and I will take lots of photos of him for his fashion collection. I went to the Pumpkin Patch sale the other day and bought him some cool stuff, including a little hoody :) Just as well, since last night we decided to go for a picnic at Bastion Point for dinner and it was a bit chilly. He looked so adorable all bundled up in his hoody!

Nothing much else really to report - he is very good at smiling and being happy now - I remember for the first number of weeks I felt like I hadn't 100% bonded with him because I wasn't getting any feedback from him. But now we are totally in love with each other and he grins and chats away to us in baby language. He can make quite a few sounds and if you repeat them back to him it must be like communication he knows because then he gets really talkative!

He will be 2 months old on Friday! WOW!
