Mommy and Samuel went to the Newborn Parenting Group today. Samuel was the second youngest baby there. One baby was three days younger, another was one day older, two were two weeks older, and then there were some much bigger babies. Samuel looked HUMONGOUS compared to all the babies 6 weeks and younger. He was chubbier, his head was bigger (for the extra brains, I'm sure...), and he might have even been longer than most. I weighed him and he weighed in at 11 lb 1 oz!!! Oh my goodness!!! No doubt he's eating well. The lactation consultant at the class said that's normal for a baby from tall parents, so I won't worry.
Samuel's doing pretty well. We're still dealing with some sleep issues. He seems to hate sleeping in his own bed at night (but we still try because we do not sleep as well when he's in our room). He may be in the midst of a growth spurt based on his eating habits the last day or so. We still think he's adorable :) He was admired by all at the newborn class and at my office today, so this Mama was proud...
He IS just too cute!! Is that his thumb actually IN his mouth?
ReplyDeleteYeah, he managed to get his thumb in his mouth twice that day! Hasn't happened since, though... We're pretty sure he's a thumb sucker, though. He's started spitting out his pacifier sometimes and replacing it with his hand in an attempt to find the thumb.
