One month already?!

Happy Hallowe'en and happy one month birthday to Rhodri!

The last 4 weeks have dissolved before we ever even noticed that time was passing. After that tiny bubble of time at the hospital, it's as though someone turned up the speed on all of the clocks. Whenever I think something happened yesterday, it turns out to have been 2 days ago, a few days has actually been a week. In spite of this, we are improving our time management. Hence, I am finally updating the blog. Please check back each week as I should now be able to do an update each weekend.

Rhodri now weighs in at 11 lbs, 4 oz. He is putting on an ounce or two daily and showing a lot of pudgy wrist below the cuffs of his 3 month sized sleepers. He is a big bouncing boy and healthy. We had a run in with thrush and vanquished it finally with the good ol' gentian violet. The diaper rash has high-tailed it away. Our next goal is to get rid of the sticky eye. Otherwise, Rhodri is very healthy - still a voracious eater and growling and growing a lot.

He likes looking at faces close up, listening to CBC (esp. classical and jazz), breastfeeding, looking at lights, being in the bath with mummmy where he practices floating (he's an expert), the hair dryer blowing on his bum and belly, pretending to be a rocket ship, being carried in his sling on Daddy's chest, pumping his legs and practicing standing.

Thank you to our friends and family for all of their ongoing support. This baby boy sure has a bustling metropolis of a village to raise him up in the world.
