1 week at home



The little toddler has now been home for one week and he is growing fast! When we left the hospital last Saturday Jonathan weighed almost3.1 kilos (it is normal to loose a bit of weight during the first couple of days). When we visited the hospital yesterday for a small check up, he had already put on the weight he'd lost and also gained a bit more - the scale stopped at 3.430 kilos!

I am currently enjoying my two weeks of paternity leave, and of course getting used to parenthood. I think I'm actually doing pretty well so far (at least nobody has told me I don't :). Jonathan has so far been very good and only wakes up during the night when he's hungry and/or needs his nappies changed, then he falls back to sleep. Good boy or what?

We bought a car this week to make it easier to get around, so we needed a car seat too for the little boy. Actually, to be correct, we already had the seat when we bought the car, so perhaps it's better to say that we needed a car for the seat? Anyway, before we set it up in the car, Jonathan did a little dry test in the living room, he seemed to like it! On the first drive he fought a bit in the beginning though, but he stopped crying the instant we started driving and then he fell asleep. And that's been the story for all our trips after that (so far at least).
