Landon got weighed today in the newborn clinic. He is now a whooping 7 pounds 14 ounces…so close to an 8 pounder. Funny how he is still not real heavy, but from his build he feels stocky and quite heavy…like a rock. The nurses always flock around him and the other newborn parents stare in awe because he is so alert, coo’s and smiles. He doesn’t have the wrinkly appearance of a newborn either so other parents always look twice. Once I remind the nurses he is 4 1/2 months old and started at 1 pound 9 ounces, they all smile and gasp at how well he has done. Because he is so healthy and gaining almost an ounce a day, we no longer have to go to the clinic…it is obvious he eats enough from both bottle and breast. Other than that, he has been sleeping (during the day) a lot and we think this is because he is growing so much. He does have his alert moments (like 2 hours in a row) but I have to admit the restful sleep is nice so I can clean house. Now if we can only get him to sleep in his crib at night things would be great. Oh well, we take what we can get and so far we have one outstanding little guy.
Almost 8 pounds – what an accomplishment! And so photogenic, he’s adorable!
We are all looking forward to the day when he can officially meet all of us (of course, not all at one time).
Sarah and Jason, you two are absolutely amazing at how you handle everything that is going on.
