11 weeks old!

He has outgrown all his 0-3mos onzie and is now onto the 6mos. (Yes American 6mos, he'd probably be wearing 12mos in Asian sizes)
This is his talking face. He just has so much to say I really wish I knew what he was thinking. Regardless he is a cutie pie!
Tummy time which unlike Daisy, is not Crew's favorite. I can barely get the full 5 mins out of him without totally ticking him off. Dasiy sure has been a good sport about the new addition to the family. Although in her mind she is sharing her mat with him. As soon as I set the mat down, she grabs her nearest toy (in this picture it is actually her doggy bone) and is laying down in the middle of the mat before I can even put Crew down. She grudgingly nudges over to allow a little space for him. So to prevent her from feeling pushed aside, I usually bring out his other play mat for her to have all to herself. Which of course in her mind is no favor, it's expected.
But they sure make a cute pair.
Well my little baby is now a little tank! At 8 weeks he was weighing just over 13lbs. And he is just getting chubbier and chubbier. I must admit he does have quite the double chin. It has replaced his hair as his most predominant feature. The comments about his hair are long gone (along with most of his locks) and instead they quickly notice the chin. Despite the seeming setback, he's already a ladies man and always has a smile for the girlies. Especially ones with British accents. He goes crazy for them. :) In addition to accents, he loves to hear foreign languages. (Of course his favorite is Korean from auntie Helen.) It makes me wonder if babies understand all languages at birth or do they just like the way it sounds??. Playtime has become much more interesting as the conversation is no longer one sided. He loves to talk and smile in response, and we carry on extensive conversations. Most days I'll put him down for a nap only to hear him a few minutes later laughing and talking. I peek in and find him chatting away to his mobile. He's obsessed with both the mobile in his bed and the one on his swing. Naturally he likes the one on his swing because it has a mirror. (He really does take after dadddy.) But I haven't figured out why he likes the one in his crib. He really is a great baby. He goes down for bed between 5:30 and 6:00 and sleeps till 12 for his first feed. He's up once more for an early morning feed then usually sleeps till 7:30 or 8:00. Thought I should document that to remind me how good I have it with this little guy. We sure love our little Crew.

He looks so much like his adorable parents!! You sound like you are just the cutest mom ever, I wish I could see you in action!

I LOVE that photo with Daisy "sharing" with Crew! And I still notice his hair first...not his double chin! However, both are adorable!

P.S. All my friends over the years that have had babies that sleep well...they are always chubby!
