Has it been three weeks already?
Little Sam was three weeks old yesterday! I can't believe how quickly those weeks have gone. I've been off on two weeks paternity leave and a week annual leave, so I have to go back to work on Monday. Not looking forward to that at all.
We've been having fun over the past weeks. Various visits from midwives and health visitors have proved that Sam is healthy, and that we're not bad parents (you do start to wonder). He's been pretty good really. Once you've found out what it is he's trying to tell you, he does tend to stop crying fairly quickly. He seemed to be suffering from the dreaded colic for a while, which was heartbreaking to watch as there's not a lot you can do, but that seems to have subsided a bit (fingers crossed).
We've also visited family, and family and friends have visited us. He's even been to visit my work once, so a few people there had a look and a bit of a hold.
We've been on a few trips out as well, including a walk around Claremont Landscape Gardens near Esher, on a particularly sunny, if chilly day. Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it!) Sam spends most of his time in either his car seat or pushchair fast asleep, so missed everything!
As you can see, he's now just moved into his cot, as he's already outgrown the (thankfully borrowed) moses basket!

He's also got a nice line in frowns if he isn't sure what on earth his parents are doing to him...
