Our growing boy

A couple of quick things while Benji is sleeping:

He has outgrown his Newborn outfits that have feet because he legs are too long and his feet are too big. Our boy has large hands and feet and long arms and legs. His feet are over 3" long.

We finally made it back to the doctor's office for a weight check (yes, that makes 4 visits there in 15 days since we came home from the hospital). The doctor is very pleased. The rash he had has gone away, his eyes are looking good, he is healing from the bris well and he gained 13 oz. in 7 days. Ben now weighs 8 lbs. 2.5 oz (or he did at 4 something p.m. on April 3rd).

He continues to eat quite well and sleeps well too. The last two nights he slept in the co-sleeper instead of on mom or dad for the majority of the night.

In other news, we have a wonderful neighbor who has been cooking for us and is bringing over some casseroles to top off the cupcakes she made for us a few days ago.

Oh, and Benji had his first full bath last night. He really seemed to enjoy floating in the water with me just supporting his head. It's all the little things like that that are so amazing. **sigh**

Wow you are so lucky that he will sleep in the cosleeper already!!!

I'm cracking up that he's outgrown his NB footies already... it took Nathaniel 9 weeks for that, he just outgrew a few of his this week.
