Six weeks and growing

Though individual days can feel long, the time is passing quickly.  Night and day still sort of blur, but we're just starting to settle into a pseudo routine.  Continuing to stick close to home, and our friends have come by for a few visits.  Us parents are getting more sleep by taking shifts through the night, and baby is adjusting to hanging out in a carrier/wrap, meaning we can get a bit more done around the house.  As Rob observed, we no longer make "to do lists", just "wish lists" :)

With the Olympics over we're venturing out of our cocoon.  Heading out on more local hikes and missions, taking advantage of the relatively mild weather lately - it's hovering around freezing but no new snow.  Cool but sunny, and we bundle him up snug as a bug before popping him in the stroller or baby carrier.

Cedar is growing like crazy and in great health.  He recently had a heart test as a routine follow-up, because of the low heart rate he had during and after labour.  Everything was perfectly normal, and he weighs 9+ lbs now, so he's put on more than 50% of his birth weight, hooray for power nursing!  You can sure see a big difference already, check out the progression...
