Amadeus 7 weeks old

Amadeus is now 7 weeks old. He weighs in at 5450 gr (13 lbs) and is 59 cm (23.2 inches) long now. He is smiling, cooing and we think possibly even chuckling or at least attempts at it now.  His favorite thing to do is breastfeeding, followed by cuddling and sleeping on one of us, and he is starting to enjoy laying on his playmat and looking at the toys.

Never know what to title these.

Amadeus, as of last Tuesday, now weighs in at 4560 grams (just over 10 lbs) and is 56 cm (22 inches) long.  He's quite active and alert, loves nursing, using his voice and lifting and turning his head to look around while belly to belly on us.

Vidar is approx 108 cm (42.5 inches) tall (He kept going on his toes so we're not exactly sure, lol) and 16.2 kg (35.7 lbs). He's talking fairly well now with pronouns and verbs more or less right and in the correct order. Very active and is enjoying his time playing with tennis rackets and balls as well as bats and a tennis ball and kicking a soccer ball around with Mika and Freja.

Freja is 12.6 kg (27.7 lbs). She's recently learned to jump off of higher places than usual, can jump over things, and loves being spun around and doing daring things. She's constantly wowing us with where she ends up. She's bound and determined to do what she wants, when she wants, how she wants and all by herself if that's possible.

Mika and I are exhausted as expected and glad he has at least 2 more weeks of vacation left. I kind of can't believe I've actually made it to 30 years old and look forward to this decade as supposedly these are the best years. :) Anyway, Amadeus is crying for me, so I must end this now  Hope everyone else is enjoying their summer (or winter).
