3 weeks old: Oliver moves up a size

This little guy turned 3 weeks old today! It's hard to believe that just three weeks and a day ago he was still cooking in my belly. I look at him and can't figure out how he fit! I wonder if he remembers anything about life on the inside.

In the last week Oliver has grown out of newborn clothing and diapers and is now in 3 month clothes and size 1 diapers. He is a growing boy! Just this morning his umbilical cord finally fell out. If it hadn't fallen out by Monday we were supposed to call the pediatrician. I don't know what they would have done but now we don't have to worry about it.

We're all figuring out life as a family of four... well, five including Gertie the dog. Logistics have to be figured out for every activity. Showering, making breakfast, getting everyone dressed, going to the store, laundry, going to the bathroom, everything you can think of. Evan has been off of work for three weeks and we have relied on the strategy of each taking a kid a lot. When he returns to work next week that will all change. Not only is this Evan's last week home, it was also Eloise's last week at daycare and our last week of getting meals every other day from friends that organized a meal train for us. Sink or swim next week!

Speaking of the meal train, one of my friends also brought this adorable knitted hat for Oliver. I think it'll fit perfectly in the Fall:

We've had some great weather recently and started up the after dinner walks again. Now we have a double jog stroller so Oliver and Eloise are side-by-side. Here's our first outing in the new stroller:

We've also ventured out to eat a couple times with both kids, just to places that are within walking distance. Here's Evan with Oliver in the front carrier while I push Eloise in the single stroller. We each prefer a different front carrier - Evan the Baby Bjorn and me the Beco Gemini - so they are each adjusted to our bodies and hanging by the front door.

Have I mentioned the dimples on this kid? They are adorable. Once he starts to smile, watch out.
