Week 3

Last Friday, Luca was 3 weeks old!

Here's his official "3-week" picture:

And a few others from that shoot...

That last picture is probably the one that I've seen (between him and Amelia) that looks most like me as a baby. It's funny how when Amelia was a baby, people constantly compared her to different people - Chris being the most obvious, but different looks or pictures looked like me or other family members. Luca is the exact same way. He looks like different people at different times, just like Amelia did.

He's growing up so quickly. I took him to be weighed again on Thursday (day 21), and he was 8 pounds, 12 ounces!! That's almost a pound over his birth weight, and 2 pounds over his lowest weight! So all fears of weight loss are long gone.

We're getting to know Luca more, too. He's gotten on a bit of a routine -- unfortunately not including more sleep at night. And we're learning his likes/dislikes and what his different noises mean.

Luca still has blue eyes and brown, wavy hair. His hair thinned out a little bit, but not too much. He has this spot directly in between his two eyebrows that turns bright red when he's upset (looks like a mosquito bite, but it's not).

Amelia had this thing that she would do -- when she would stretch, her left fist would make a knocking motion at the end of the stretch. Strangely enough, Luca does it too, which is simply adorable. :)

We're still pretty much home-bodies, though we try to venture out every few days. On Thursday (day 21), we went to have lunch with Daddy at the University. Otherwise, he's only been to a few places, most often the grocery store and church. We have had a few visitors stop by, but not as many as we'd like.

She really loves her brother! We love watching the 2 of them together!
