July 5, Over 7 lbs.!



Today's big developments:

-- Alex visited his pediatrician for the first time this morning. Everything looks great. His weight was 7 lbs., 2 oz. This is a good sign that he is doing great outside of the hospital. He has gained 5 oz. since his last weigh-in at Swedish Sunday night. Everyone seemed to like the pediatrician. He also did well in the car seat on the way to the pediatrician, his second car seat excursion.

-- There was a lot of cleaning activity in the house (thanks for the help Grandma F). Alex watched the developments in his papasan chair until he fell asleep.

-- He and Mom did a great job breastfeeding this afternoon.

-- The March of Dimes takes pictures of preemies at Swedish. We received those pictures today. On the right is a picture of Alex from just a few weeks ago. His tan is from the light therapy treating jaundice. The March of Dimes is a great organization. Among other things, they provided many of the outfits Alex wore at the hospital and they coordinate parent support groups.





-- Below is a short video of Alex anxiously giving his pacifier a strenuous workout at the pediatrician's this morning.







-- Here is a short video of Alex thinking about food tonight.
