Lil Monkey Week 2

Today marks 2 weeks for our lil monkey. It was been so awesome spending time with him and watching him grow.


Lots has happened over the past week:

• My breast milk has finally completely come in so feedings are a breeze now and we aren't worried anymore about him getting enough to eat.
  


• His skin complexion is getting a little darker. We can tell he is going to be pretty light but he is getting a little color now.



• He has a few awake periods here and there where we get a chance to play and talk with him. He certainly does still sleep a lot but we get some time here and there to get to know him.



• We can't tell exactly how much but it is clear he is growing and gaining weight. He no longer fits his newborn onesies and is starting to almost fill in the next size up, but still has plenty of room to grow with them. We have a doctor appointment this afternoon and will find out his new weight then. When he was born he was 6 lbs 10 ozs and at his last appointment he only went down to 6 lbs 7 ozs. It is expected for newborns to actually lose weight at first so that was okay. Now we are hoping that he has at least put that weight back on if not gained more.



• Oh and he is making the cutest noises when he sleeps. Even caught him laughing in his sleep a few times. Okay so I know they aren't real laughs yet, but they were still adorable. Gotta love him.
