1 Week Old

In your first week we have had lots of birthday presents. Here is a cute one from cousin Dean (the outfit and Sophie the giraffe)

You have big yawns.

You are almost back to birth weight (at 6 days old you were 9lbs 2oz)

 You have only had 1 bad night.

You sleep with mommy on the couch after that bad night. 

You eat great and a lot! I can sometimes feed you for more than an hour straight.

You will take a pacifier. The brand hasn't mattered so far.

You spit up. You never act like you are in pain, so I haven't changed my diet at all, but you do spit up after most feedings. I think it is because you secretly like baths and like to watch your mom and dad run to clean you up. 

 You have had 2 blow outs from your diaper. We are struggling to keep you in size newborn diapers because we want to finish off what we have. We haven't even used our cloth diapers yet because we want to use up the disposable ones.

You love babywearing and the Moby wrap.  You nurse in there and you sleep great in there.

In the next couple days we will take you to get your weight checked at the pediatrician and then to get your PKU testing done at the lab.  

Those are your only adventures in your near future. 

Well, that and Costco. We are out of laundry detergent.
