Three Weeks

Its hard to believe that Oti is three weeks old! It really seems like he has been with us forever already :) BUT, the last three weeks have flown by... maybe it feels like one really long week. I have been really tired :)

Otis had his two week check up a few days a go (a week ago really) and he is growing and that makes me so happy. He is now weighing 8lbs. 7oz! He gained over a pound in his two short weeks of life. It makes the two gallons of milk I am now carrying around all worth the back pain ;). His jaundice was under control in just a few short days, but soon got a cold! We have been battling his cold for a week now. It is making things very hard for me, but I cannot expect him not to get sick if we have three other monkeys running around.

However, we have all been enjoying him A LOT! He loves to be cuddled and loves his day time sleep :) Mylo has said some funny things while holding Oti. This last week Mylo said, while holding Oti, "Are you looking in the mirror? huh? are you?" I had to laugh... We have said several times that Otis looks like Mylo. I am guessing Mylo is very flattered by this.

Oti had his first blow out this week. I have never documented my other kids blow outs, but this might just be the last of the firsts. I am just glad the little guy is pooping like champ :)

I am in love! I mean, Oti can already pull a silly face for a picture... what's not to love?

Oti has been a wonderful (other than the cold). He lost his belly button last Sunday and he got his first bath at home, he loved it! We all love to touch his hair, I just love his little faux hawk. Dave and I like to watch his silly faces while he sleeps.

We love our Oti!

Little Otis is so adorable...I only wish I could hold him...he looks like a little angel...a little angel with a hawk how cute is that. Love you girl. Hugs and kisses. I agree that is a very nice picture of your sister.

I can't believe it's been 3 months. He is soooo cute and he really does look like Mylo. Love the silly face.

3 weeks already? Time does fly! I have to agree with everyone's comments. He is perfection! And the faux hawk is to die for.

Those are all great pics. Glad he lasted so long before a blow out. I'm sure they will be coming fast and furious now.

He is ADORABLE! I want to hold him. When are we going to do a BBQ? I feel bad it didn't work out last year. But I want to get together.

It's amazing how quickly they grow and change. It's so sad that he's had a cold - what a horrible way to start a little life. Hopefully he'll get over it soon. He really is darling and does look a lot like Mylo. Fun!

He is so darn cute. I love the blowout picture. It is very important to remember every little bit of your last one...including the pooh!

Wow! I've been out of the loop! We went on vacation and I'm just getting back into things. Otis is beautiful! And I enjoyed reading about your delivery. I'm thinking I may be brave enough to go natural if I have another one. Maybe. :) Congrats!
