Winston celebrated his 3rd week of life last Saturday. He is eating well and becoming more alert and active when he is awake. He can now focus on our faces and gives us very serious stare-downs a few times a day. His cries are louder and more urgent now, but thankfully are limited to when he is hungry, wet or just plain bored. He is easily calmed down and all in all remains a fairly quiet and easy baby. He is able to hold onto his pacifier and the bottle with an iron grip. He's starting to adjust his sleeping habits so that he is sleeping better at night (mom and dad are very grateful for this). He loves to be cuddled and held and we've distinguished a fake cry that indicates "ummm...hello....time to pick me up and love me!!." We gladly oblige the little guy.Picture of Winston relaxing on mommy and daddy's bed (I think he peed all over everything about 5 minutes after this was taken).
Tutu (Grandma Kathy) came back to visit on the 13th and left today. We had a couple of outings, although it rained quite a bit over the course of each day. Here are a few photos from an afternoon trip to Crandon Park on Key Biscayne. It was low tide and we were able to walk out about 100 yards. The camera was fogged over which accounts for the misty photos.
We also visited the Deering Estates...photo of Tutu, Winston and Shannon with Chicken Key in the background.

Winston got these cool sunglasses from Grandma Mary. He is suprisingly accomodating when we put the glasses on him!!
I'm hooked. I'm loving every word and picture. We're wondering where "winston" comes from? A Wanless ancestor? I imagine "Tutu" is loving every minute. I remember when Grandma Kuhl visited right after Katie was born. She only wanted to hold the baby, but it really was nice to have an extra set of arms. Love to all. Trish
