Hi everyone! Yesterday was my 6 week check-up at the doctor’s office, and I was a very good boy, even though I had to get THREE shots! Ouch! They gave me cute bandaids, but that didn’t really make up for the OUCH factor that came with them! Mommy was really nice and cuddled me after, and that calmed me a little bit. But it still hurt!

Anyway - I’d noticed over the past few weeks that anytime someone picked me up, they would say something like, “Did he grow overnight? He’s bigger since I last saw him, which was only 2 days ago!”. Well, it turns out that YES I did essentially grow overnight! At my 2 week check-up, I was 8 lbs 1 oz, and 21 inches. Yesterday, only 4 weeks later: I was 11 LBS, 23 INCHES! I gained 3 lbs and 2 inches in one month! What can I say, I’m a good eater! Mommy and Daddy says that explains why I’m already wearing bigger size clothes!

I was declared ‘very healthy’ by the doctor. The only thing I’ve had is this nasty congestion that I got from my big brother. Poor Decker came home from school with a really bad cold, and he gave it to us! But I can’t take medicine yet, so all my folks can do is have me sleep in my car seat with a humidifier aimed at my head, and then they keep using this thing called an aspirator (but everyone in our house calls it the ‘microphone’), which they jam in my nose to help me get rid of all the congestion. NOT FUN! But…I do breathe better afterwards, so ok.

There is a big tree in our house now! With pretty lights on it! I didn’t know trees could grow inside, but you learn something new every day!

Have a good week! Sniff Sniff!
