Simon

Simon is now 8 weeks old!  So, I figured now was a good time to post his 4 week stats.  Yikes!  Considering that I am a second born who spends much of her free time complaining to her parents about how neglected she was, one might think I would be more sensitive to this sort of thing.  Turns out, I'm not.  There are about 37,000 baby pictures of my brother.  There are 8 of me and the rest have that bum Elliot in them too.  Surely, I am a better parent than that!  Turns out, I'm not.  I guess Jane and Tom are about as good as they come.  Damn it!

Back to Simon.  He continues to be a pretty easy baby.  He is sleeping through the night.  What??!!  You heard it right!  He sleeps from about 11:30 until about 8:00 most nights.  Ronan didn't sleep that long until...well, I'll let you know when he starts sleeping that well.  Just kidding, I think he was about 8 months old.  Simon does not sleep well during the day, but that seems like a small price to pay.  I expect my house will be clean again sometime in the year 2033.  Stats at 4 weeks:  22 3/4 inches (90%), 11 lbs 8 oz (97%), 40cm head (90%).  He is a big boy!! More than 2 lbs heavier than Ronan at that age, although they were the same height.  I am guessing some of that baby fat is helping him sleep at night:)  Here are some pics of the little cutie. 

Always keep one eye open when you have a big brother

Big boy.  We must thank Charlie, whose 3-6 month outfit already fits this dude at 6 weeks!

That's a belly!
