Little Andrew is now 11 days old. We’re enjoying each moment with him, and at the present moment, I’m learning how to type on my laptop while holding a sleeping infant:)
Squirmy (as we mostly call him these days) had his first doctor’s appointment on Tuesday last week. He had already eclipsed his birth weight, and he weighed in at 7 pounds, 6 ounces. A champion eater, he may be taking after his parents… We’re getting not quite enough sleep, but not too bad either. Andy is a cooperative baby (so far!), and he’s just so fun to look at! I put up some new photos from the past week in our gallery. All the photos of him are in the Summer album.
Weekly update from BabyCenter.com
Week 1 –
How your baby’s growing: This week your newborn continues to adjust to her new world, which she finds perhaps a bit too noisy and well-lit for her taste. But she’s coming along. You’ll notice her limbs move in a jerky, uncoordinated way. Soon, probably by the end of the month, her movements will become more fluid as her muscle control matures. Sucking and chewing on her hands are her main activities for the moment.
Is your newborn a noisy breather? Lots of air passing through very small airways clogged with lint from blankets, clothing, and dust is the culprit much of the time. For the most part, you don’t need to worry; she isn’t likely to have a cold at this young age. She’s just trying her best to breathe.
