Wee Aidan is not so little any more! He's gained around 700 grams (more than 1 1/2 pounds) over the last two weeks, and we can really notice the difference. While still not exactly chubby, he actually has cheeks and even a few dimples (as distinct from wrinkly skin from not enough fat!). The longest stretch of sleep at night is also gradually being extended - we're now up to 5 hours, usually from 9pm to 2am, or thereabouts.
Meanwhile Livia continues to enjoy cuddling him, and often goes looking for him during the day to say hi. If we tell her he's asleep, then she will shush us. If we change his nappies, she lies down next to him and puts a nappy on herself. If we are burping him, she comes to tap him on the back to make him go 'pop'.
As the temperatures rise, we received a timely offer from a neighbour to use their pool whenever we like. Here are a few photos from our first few trips (more found in the September photos):
