Liam had his 2 week check-up today at the pediatrician and he's doing really well. His birthweight was 8 pounds 11 ounces but he lost 10 ounces in his first few days of life (this is normal, and attributed to the mothers milk coming in).Two weeks after being born he's now 9pnds 4ounces - which is great! He has also grown an 1 1/4 inches in length. He is now 22" tall [long] now.
He also had a 'heal-prick' to draw some blood for some common checks that they do here in Colorado for all kinds of things. Obviously we're sure that he is just fine but these tests will show if there is anything to be concerned about. These are mandated tests here in Colorado and apparently they do more thorough and rigorious testing that most states to try and identify treatable/curable childhood 'problems'.
His belly button (dried up cord) also fell off the other day (yuck) so he can now have tummy time and go in the baby bjorn. Annette has taken him for a few walks with it now and he seems to really love it (we assume so given that he immediately falls asleep once in it!)
