Week 3 of Parenthood

Parenthood is going well for Victoria and me, and Finley's doing great... most of the time.

Happily sleeping

He's had a little eye infection, and we've had more than a few run-ins with explosive poos (including an in-bath poo followed immediately by an in-towel poo the moment we'd gotten him cleaned up), but all of that is pretty much to be expected with a newborn.

Victoria is doing well.  The recovery from the C-section surgery is slow, but especially in the last few days, she's started to have less pain and more energy.   And she's looking great, if I might say so msyelf.

At two weeks after the birth

Finley is a ravenous eater, and has put on a ton of weight since birth.  We haven't had him weighed recently, but he's starting to fill out his lanky frame and is really rockin' the double chin!

Giving his Kansan cousins a little
competition in the "cheeks" category

At two and half weeks, he's already outgrown
(or never fit into) all of his newborn onsies!

Last Thursday evening, Victoria, Finley, and I hosted a little meet-n-greet for a few of my colleagues.  It was Finley's first real social event.  He slept through the whole thing but made enough sleepy gurgles and faces to keep the crowd oohing and ahhing.   

The major only challenge so far is that Finley is a grunter.  He grunts for hours on end in his sleep.  The World Wide Web, the so-called "internet" (perhaps you've heard of it), tells us this is nothing serious.  However, while little Finn can sleep through it, his concerned parents often cannot.   Anyone got any advice for dealing with grunting babies?
