Today Caden had his first doctor's appointment. I was a little nervous about his weight. In the hospital he lost weight (as all newborns do), but his weight loss was more than they like to see. So of course that worried me. By today's appointment the goal was for him to be back up to his birth weight. Since I am nursing it is hard to determine exactly how much he is getting. However, I was very excited today when they weighed him. Today he weighed 7 lbs. 12 oz. which is 2 ounces more than his birth weight. This is great because he had lost about a pound in the hospital. The pediatrician checked him out and said he looked great. He also commented on how cute he was. He did have to have his newborn screening done in which he had to have his heel pricked to get blood out of it. He was not a fan of this and definitely let us know it! After we left the doctor we had to get his passport photo taken. This was another experience. He had to be laying down with his eyes open. This was a challenge as he had just gotten calmed down and fallen asleep after his traumatic trip to the doctor. It took a little while, but we finally got him to open his eyes long enough for the photographer to take a few shots for his passport.
Now for the part you really care about.....The pictures:
All wrapped up in his towel before his bath. Look at those big eyes!?!?!?!
Testing out his crib...He's not using it yet, but since he had a matching outfit on we thought it would be a good picture opportunity.
