2 weeks and 2 days old

Many people have asked me to update the blog since I haven't done so in a while! So here is the progress we have made..

Josh had a little procedure to fix his "tongue tie" he did really great with it. He was actually more upset they were holding his hands down than he was to have it done. It also was much more traumatic for Joe and I than it was for him. It took maybe 30 seconds and he started eating right after. He has been moving his tongue around like crazy and eating a lot better. We are really glad we just got it over with! Josh also went to his pediatrician for the first time. He weighted a whooping 5 pounds 10 ounces. We go again to the pediatrician's office on Wednesday for another weigh in to make sure he is gaining weight.

He continues to eat like a champ. He is waking up pretty much on his own every 3 hours, and eating 80cc almost every feed and breastfeeding the opposite feed. He seems to have his days and nights confused as most babies do. He is ready to party in the middle of the night after his feeds and the last thing he wants to do is go back to sleep. Joe and I are taking turns getting up with him so we both are getting pretty good chunks of sleep every night.

The 3 of us have been out and about as well. The pediatrican said it was fine to do so. We have been to the grocery store and babies r us. Josh slept the entire time and he didn't even know he was out!

Josh has had 2 baths at home. I don't have pictures from the first bath since it was far to stressful to take pictures! He did much better with the second one. Joe and I figured out a system that went much smoother!

Here is a picture after his second bath...

Here is a picture of Josh in his boppy chair. He really hasn't figured out if he likes it yet...
