yay i hold my head up now

dad's going to have to start posting pictures up on picassa as flickr limits the number of pictures to 200. We'll have pictures up soon!

GAH Needles!

Needles are teh suck.

today I got stabbed 3 times by this nurse while my dad held me down and mom cowered in the corner.
Ok maybe it wasn't like that...

It was my 2 month checkup and I have to do vaccinations - hep A, staph, some other stuff.  One was oral, the other 3 were the needles.  Poor dad almost cried watching me cry out the pain.  Luckily I bounce back like a trooper, right now I'm snoring on dad's tummy.

Dr. Lee noticed that I cry a lot.  He says it's an indicator that I'm going to be fussy as time goes on.  This is because he's never had a 2 month old baby cry when his clothes were off.  But when dad picked me up and held me on his warm chest, I shut up immediately.  I do like it warm, what's wrong with that?!

He also made some remark about "Max knows how to get what he wants..."

of course I do!  I take after my mom! :P

Dad's going to post some pictures later, and he's been recording some really cute video of me as well.  He'll figure out how to post and link to it.

until next time, ta ta!

LEVEL UP!

I've officially moved on from type NB diapers to size 1.

Mainly my thighs and butt were too big for the old ones.

Still feeding 3 hours a day, with occasional 4 hour naps.

Expecting some solid poops anytime now.

2 month growth spurt

mommy's getting even less sleep now than the first growth spurt.
I'm feeding every couple hours, and leaving these monstrously large diapers. I'm getting bigger, and so is my appetite.
Mommy has a couple plugged ducts we're trying to feed through, daddy's helping her with warm towels.
More pictures of me on flickr!

Hopefully mommy gets sleep soon!

quite amazing actually.

6 pounds 4.5 ounces = 100.5 ounces

according to Google

and I'm drinking about 4 ounces of milk every feeding.

Which means I'm eating 4% of my total body weight every 2 hours!

That would be like dad eating 8 pounds of food, or drinking 3.6 Liters of milk every two hours!

growth spurt

I think I hit my first 2-3 week growth spurt, been feeding almost every hour these past couple days.
Mom and dad are trying hard to keep up, but it's very tiring.
I feel like that large lady in Slither...I don't really wanna, but I can't help myself, just so...hungry! mwahahahha.

ok who am I kidding, I love eating!

wow what happened to the weekend eh?

well this weekend sure screamed by. I'm coming up quickly on my 3rd week, which is amazing, but oh so tiring. I'm feeding quite often now, and my poops are quite regular.

Mom and dad figured out how to feed me while in bed this past weekend which was nice because this way Mom doesn't have to get up to feed me, she can just roll on her side, feed me, then let me pass out on the bed.

I'm going through about 10-12 diapers a day, and going on 160+ diapers consumed thus far.

This thursday I'm going to the doctor again and they'll weigh me, dad thinks I weigh about 7 and a half pounds, hopefully I hit 8, so he can put me in the baby bjorn and carry me around. That way when he types he can use both hands instead of just one!

Diapers don't hold me very well, I manage to get them lower on me then I poop around them, or my kidneys output more whiz than the diaper can sop up. That's all fine and good, dad's very proud of my kidneys.

I had a pretty red diaper rash this past weekend which sent dad and Uncle Eric on an expedition to find the best cream. Dad's applying it at every change and it seems a lot better now.

I'm getting ready for my first bath, dad is looking forward to it, given how much he loves baths too.
