Chunking up...

Hi everyone

So I'm 10 days old now - or 11 by the time you read this. Don't I look cute in my matching hat and blanket set? (Thanks, Farmor)

The title refers to my weight - as you probably know, all babies lose a little weight in their first week or so, and I'm no exception. I was 6lb15oz when I left the hospital, and 2 days later was at 6lb13.5oz. That was the same weight 2 days later when I was 6 days old. When we measured yesterday, I was back up to 7lb1oz. Really - the doctors want me back to my birthweight by 2 weeks, and that shouldn't be a problem.

I'm a pretty mellow kid - I sleep a lot, eat a bit, sleep some more. Sometimes I open my eyes and look around. I definitely like laying on mom or dad's chest the best.

I'm eating well, not crying unless I'm hungry, and sleeping quite well for someone my age, if I may say so myself. I've had a few visitors, but most friends have stayed away while the parents and Daniel clear out their colds. I think this will be a busy weekend.

I'm just getting presents from everyone. Thank you. Out of fear of forgetting someone, I'm not going to attempt a list or anything right here. Lots of cute clothes - I'm ready to go out in style.

That's about it. I went for a ride in a stroller to the library today, which was uneventful since I slept, but mom says that the conversion of Daniel's stroller into a 2-seater is awesome.

More soon.
