It's hard to believe that we've been home for 3 weeks already.  Whereas the 4 weeks in the hospital felt like an eternity, the weeks at home have flown by.  Alex is a good baby, crying only when he's hungry, chilly or needs to be changed.   We have managed to get out quite a bit with the balmy weather, which is great for mom!  It's been a lot of fun to show him off.

He's growing and gaining weight.  On Monday his official weight at the doctor's office was 7 lbs 14 oz.
At home on the baby scale today it says he's 8 lbs 2 oz.

One of my coworkers made this blanket for Alex.  The jungle print is on one side.  The giraffe print is on the other with the embroidery.  Its soft and warm.  He loves it.  Alex does not like to be cold.  He likes to be toasty warm.
