Our Chunk Can Sleep......sometimes



Last night was a good night in the Griffeth household. Nate slept for 4 hours straight...was up for an hour to eat and a diaper change.....slept for 3.5 more hours.....was up to eat......slept again for 2 hours. It was HEAVENLY and much needed. He's a good sleeper once he's asleep. We're crossing our fingers for tonight but I might have just jinxed us.

I took him to the doc today for his circ check-up. Everything looks good and they also weighed him. Our little man is turning in to a CHUNK! He's now 8 pounds 9 ounces! He gained half a pound in 4 days. I was worried because he really doesn't eat for very long. It's a MIRACLE if I can get him to eat for 10 minutes on one side but he poops & pees all day and is gaining weight so the doc says he's doing great! His face has filled out a little and his thighs now have a roll. I love it.

We took him on his first walk tonight. He really does enjoy being outside but it's so hot during the day, that we're pretty cooped up. The nights aren't too bad though so we took him on a short walk tonight. It was nice to get out with the three of us and enjoy some fresh air and each other's company.

He is the best dressed two week old I've ever seen! I love all his little outfits. Such a cute baby!

How fun! I love little fat rolls. About the walk. Take Nate and yourself to the mall and walk with the stroller. It is airconditioned, you will feel better getting a walk and he will love the new environment. Just watch out for all the ladies that will want to touch him. You can ask them not to, and it is not considered rude!!! have fun.
