Its a week since little Monty arrived home and today is Fathers Day.
No, I didn't get woken with breakfast in bed or a cup of tea or a free pass to watch the premiership highlights from the night before, but I did get to celebrate with a present and card from Monty and Mum.....(I think Monty had some help writing out his card!?)
The present is a hand and feet cast kit where we get to make moulds of Monty's hands and feet. Cool!
Monty also got to spend the day with Aunty Nicole and Aunty Belinda...plus his cousin Georgia....very exciting for him....plenty of attention!
I'm not sure that we officially confirmed Monty's weight and length after the birth, so here it is....a huge 9lb 5oz (4,246g) and 54cm. When we checked out of the hospital last Sunday he had dropped to 4,030g which apparently is quite normal. On Friday the Early Childhood nurse came and checked him out as part of her 1st visit and he had put on almost half a kilo in the 5days!!!, so he's obviously feeding okay! the nurse was pretty happy with his progress and now he weighs in at close to 4.5kg....I don't think he is going to fit those newborn nappies for very long.
I've attached a couple more pics below and video from Fathers Day.
We'll try and keep updating the blog with pics over the coming months...may not be as frequent as the last week though....:-)

He is so lovely and he's grown so much already. He almost started to mouth the words as you were singing Lisa! he looks older than one week. I can see Simon's eyes & your mouth Lisa and can't wait till we can 'see' him again. Did try to see if you were logged on today but no joy. Hopefully next weekend???? Love to you all, Dad Leigh & girls xxxxxxx
