Benjamin is doing quite well. We went to the doctor earlier this week for his one-month checkup. He now weighs 9 lbs. 11 1/2 oz. This puts him at the 50th percentile in each. And, it means he's had sufficient weight gain since we took him off the formula supplementation. He's officially allowed to get all his nutrition from mom (although we are supposed to start giving him vitamins). We can also let him go longer between feedings at night if he wants to. Right now he's decided to go one stretch of 5-6 hours between feedings at night (that's measured from the beginning of one feeding to the beginning of the next, so that's not 6 hours of sleep for us, but it sure is better than 3-4 hours between feedings at night).
He's also beginning to have more alert time. He gets overstimulated easily, but it sure is fun to watch him watch his world. He gets really fussy at least once each day so we go on at least one outing a day. He just loves car rides and walks in the stroller -- especially on brick or other bumpy sidewalks. It feels like he's growing up so fast!
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
