Bo: Seven Weeks Old

Bo, 2016

Here's little Bo, oblivious to the giant snow storm (and his brothers A., in the same outfit, and O., both at the same age.)

Oscar, 2014

Little Oscar was such a trooper this week. And the sun and fresh air seem to have done him well...I swear he's grown a ton this last few days. He's getting very pink and plump and cute. He still has very fussy evenings, but he's doing great at night (last night he slept from 8 p.m. 'til 3 a.m. and then was up just one more time.)

There are of course some rocky moments, but mostly we're feeling very lucky and grateful these days.

And here's a look back at Axel at seven weeks old.

Seven Weeks Old

Axel, 2012

Aside from the fact that our nights seem to be getting harder and not easier, things are going pretty well around here. Axel is a pretty smiley little fellow these days, and it's the perfect temperature for walks down to the water and for lying on the grass and chilling. Right now we are working on naps in his crib and I'm doing my best to differentiate between nighttime hunger cries and I-just-wanna-hang-out-and-keep-everybody-awake-cries. It's harder done than said to morph into one of those just-the-right-amount-of-aloof French parents, I'm finding.
