4 weeks today.

Our son is 4 weeks today. Just to keep you up to date here's a progress report.

He's put on almost a pound a week.
He seems to be extremely strong - you have to watch his head when burping him on your shoulder, otherwise he can fling his whole body backwards.
He screams loudly when a burp is on it's way.
He hasn't worked out yet that night's are for sleeping and days for waking.
He has refused to allow a photo to be posted, as he is passing through puberty, and his facial skin seems to have erupted in a minefield of spots. (It's probably his body actually finding it's own level of hormones after 9 months of being inside mum).
He is starting to smile... :)
Daddy now sleeps in the living room, in the vain hope that he gets some sleep, and äiti (mum) and son need all the space in the bed, because he doesn't want to sleep in his own crib...
This arrangement was also supposed to help äiti lie in in the morning when the other two are awake, but as daddy has difficulty getting up, and can sleep through most things from about 6 am to 9 am, hasn't really worked.
He doesn't so much fill his nappy, as do explosively wet farts, which have been known to spread sideways like a mushroom cloud and leave the confines of the nappy at rapid speed...

Oh, and he's lovely!!!
