Like Father, Like Son

If my baby has been looking balder, it's because he is. They tell you in the hospital to brush the baby's hair and scalp to prevent cradle cap, and I have been doing that religiously. However, the past few times I have been brushing his hair it's come out making my little man look...well like an little man. The best part? He's only bald on top!

The funny part is when Ben is sitting there holding Remy and saying, "Did Mom make you lose your hair? I know just how you feel buddy."

Kiki and Remy

Our friends Jon and Maeva came to visit us with their family. It was the first time we had seen them since Remy was born. And although he has definitely gotten bigger, he was no match for Kiora.
She was born 7 weeks before him, and she has the lead in size and weight. She is so cute though with her big cheeks. I loved holding her and she just looks so cute. However, I did want my baby back at the end.

The Onesie actually fits!

My placid baby

So I'm getting ready for bed when Ben calls to me from the other room, "Lenzy, you have to come check this out." So I come running out of the bathroom to find Ben giggling, yes giggling, and he makes me record this scene:



I like it better when Remy is like this instead of crying.

Four weeks

At four weeks, Remy has grown so much. He can hold his head up for short periods of time now, but we haven't been really able to catch it on camera. Here are our attempts though:


He is so tired here:

He finally just fell asleep. Too much of a workout I guess.


Remy has also started to smile, which is amazing! It just kind of make my heart melt when he does it. Often, it's a half smile when he's falling asleep, but I caught a hint of grin here:


And I just love how he sucking on his fist here. Usually that means he's hungry, which means I need to get in gear and feed him.

My Obedient Son

So, I have discovered that little boys like to pee, not just in their diaper, but EVERYWHERE while you are changing them. Lately that has included on me and Ben, the blinds, the changing table, his diaper stacker, etc. The funniest story about it all involves my mother's visit after Remy was born. One day when she was she offered to change his diaper, but wanted my sister to bring all the changing stuff out to the couch so that she could change him there. This is how our conversation went down:

Me: Mom, Remy has peed while I have changed his diaper every single time today. I don't think the couch is a good idea.

My mom: It'll be fine, he's a good boy and hasn't yet peed on his Nana, and I have changed more diapers than you.

Me: Fine, but you're cleaning up the couch if he does. And I hope he pees on you.

My mom: You don't mean that.

Me: I actually kind of do.

My obedient son, evidenced in the wet spots on my mom's knees:

Three weeks

Remy is three weeks old today!! We were able to take a few pictures of him. He is fitting into his Newborn clothes finally! And he is out of Preemie diapers and onto Newborn size! Yay!


Why is it that we think crying babies are cute? I can't help but love this picture of my baby!



A more peaceful picture of Remy. You can see that we have to fold up the arms of the Sleep and Play outfits so they fit him. He is sure growing though!
