Early this week, you had your two week doctor appointment. You are healthy and getting chubbier by the day! You weighed 8 lbs 7 oz on Tuesday, and I think you are even fatter a few days later. Last night, your dad and I were watching you sleeping and marveling at your emerging double chin. Your dad said, "How much weight do you think he's gained since dinner??" You looked so round!
You LOVE the sound of the blowdryer. It is really funny. Sometimes we can only get you to go to sleep if we turn it on. I read a book called
The Happiest Baby on the Block that explained how to soothe a fussy baby by simulating the conditions of the womb: swaddle you tightly, position you on your side, bounce or swing you, give you something to suck on, and provide loud white noise. It really works to calm you down.

We had fun hanging out with Aunt Sarah and Callum a few times this week. Aunt Sarah adores you and could snuggle you all day!
One day she took some photos of you with her fancy camera. You weren't so fond of the "posed" shots with props, but you did like being held by your mama!
Last but not least, you had your first "blow out" diaper this week. We were eating dinner at the home of some new friends, and you made a mess all up your back and in your car seat. Not cool! I went to change you, and I had everything I needed...except wet wipes!!! Nice job, Mom!
Does the white noise machine work? If not, send it back, keep the money, and use the blowdryer. :) He is the cutest!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha. It's all about the wipes and ALWAYS having a second outfit in your bag (it was usually footie jammies for me) and big ziplocs to put the offending clothes in.
