Lucien has made it strong to week 5. We went to the pediatrician for his one month check-up and he gained a lot of weight. He weighs in at 9lbs. 12 oz. and fits the height weight and head size for an average baby his age. He has been eating like a champ and has thus had many digestive difficulties. He has ben eating much faster and ingesting a full meal half the time than it took at birth. It sounds especially painful in the early morning when he has gas and liquid coming out of every end. His sleep habits haven't changed yet and he keeps Mom alert every few hours for a feeding. I have decided to incorporate myself into a big novel during feedings and burpings and received the first 2 books of the Twilight series (Thanks Jessie!). We also ventured out to the mall for our first indoor outing. He loved it!
Lucien has started to smile a lot more this week. He can also hold his head up straight when held upright. His arms and legs are moving more freely and he's getting strong. He can kick at us now when he's frustrated and is not getting what he wants immediately. Oh the joys of parenthood!
Next week will be Christmas and I have one thing on my list...a silent night.
