And growing...

Just a quick update today... We went for a five, count 'em, five mile walk on the trail this morning because the weather was so unbelievably gorgeous today! Cool mornings and then it gets up to 75 in the afternoon. After a satisfying nap, Chris and I packed up and headed to our breastfeeding group at the hospital. Our "little" boy is now 14 pounds! We did a before/after eating weight check and Christopher ate 4 ounces which apparently seemed like a lot to the lactation consultant because she said, "Well no wonder these legs are so solid." We also met two other moms with my same doctor so the three of us chatted for a while... Christopher is now fitting into his 3 month-old outfits which is good because he was just busting out of the newborn ones. He is also becoming so alert and will focus on things for a much longer time each day. Today he was looking at the other babies in our group, especially this one older boy who was standing up with his mom's help. Chris must have been thinking, "Hey, I want to do that too Mom!" Anyway, tonight Chris gets to hang out with Daddy for a boy's night in while Mama goes out to an open house for a local mom's group... More pictures are coming soon!
