Six Weeks - 6 January

Elliot,

You are six weeks old and so so sweet!

You continue to be very interactive - bigger smiles the older you get.  Especially when you're on your changing table; you love it up there.

You're stating to put on a little weight, especially in those cheeks!  You're newest nickname is Cheeks McGee; Cheeks for short.  ;)  You're still breastfeeding, but we have to supplement each daytime feeding with a bottle of formula.

You actually had your 6 week appointment today and Dr. Dana thinks you're looking fantastic!  You weigh 10 lbs / 11 oz, which puts you into the 50th percentile for weight.  You're about there for height (22 in) and head circumference (15 in) too.  You received your second Hep B vaccination as well.

We've been using your Rock N Play Sleeper a lot because you sleep so well in it.  We try for the Pack N Play at first, but once you wake up and I feed you, I find myself plopping you in the rocker.  You had your longest stretch of sleep to date the night of January 4th: 5 hours!  Thank you, sweetheart.

We love love love you.
