the new and improved Faltynski Family

Jonas has been home for almost 3 weeks now. How time flies! He still sleeps well, but not nearly as much as he did in the hospital, and he is definately MUCH easier to wake up! At his 2 week check up, he had gained over a pound, grew more than 1 1/2" and his head got a whole inch rounder...whatta guy. Bryan and I are still tired. Jonas has upped his food intake to 6 oz. at a crack. (I think he'll fit in with his siblings-they were mega eaters too) He's started to listen intently to voices and is awake and alert for almost 2 hours at a time several times a day. He found his "scream" and uses it when he getting changed (not a fan of nak-y time yet) and when he thinks he's dying from starvation (which happens instantly upon awaking). He's still a super easy baby though.

Here's Jonas hanging out with Dad...actually, they are both kinda sleeping...in and out.

Winter started school Thursday. She's in the 1st grade, and loves it. It was her day for show and tell today (called "sharing" time these days) and she brought in 5 grasshoppers she caught in a water bottle. They all lived through the day, so I guess that was a bonus. I made her release them when she got home. Creedon is going through Winter with-drawals, which he usually voices by saying how sad he is that Iron Giant is gone and won't come play with him. We have to interpret, because he uses made up stories to tell his true feelings (that should be interesting in the years to come!)

Here's Creedon, Winter and Jonas. Creedon has an "I'm the BIG brother" shirt and Winter has an "I'm the BIGGEST sister" shirt on (from their grandmamma and grandpa mark). They are soooo proud. They wear those shirts as often as they are clean.
