one week

I can’t believe that Elliot is a week old already! The midwife came around today for another check (passed with flying colours) and a weigh in.  Like Max, Elliot is not shy when it comes to eating and in a week has lost weight and then surpassed his birth weight easily.  He is now 4 ounces heavier than when he was born and feeds really well.  All up he seems to be a very contented child and doesn’t cause any fuss unless he’s really hungry – nice

The picture below shows Max helping with Elliot’s first bath the other day.  He was very gentle and got really worried when Elliot started to cry during his bath and needed quite a bit of convincing that he wasn’t to blame and that babies just cry for no reason…..
