 -----UPDATE 11/19/2012------------------------------

At today’s pediatrician appointment, Connor’s stats were:
10 lb. 5 oz. (75th percentile)
22.5” tall (90th percentile)
14.6” head circumference (50th percentile)

Just for our records…
his weight at birth was 8 lb 5.5 oz,
at 2-days old, he was 7 lb 14 oz,
at 5-days old, he was 8 lb 0.5 oz,
at 14-days old he was 8 lb 13 oz

Here are some other general observations about Connor:
  • He eats every 2 to 2.5 hours in the day and 3 to 3.5 hours at night. 
  • Starting last week (about 3 weeks old), he entered into a fussy phase and cries for no apparent reason. Before this phase, he was perfect, crying only when he was hungry or had a wet diaper. 
  • He drinks approx. 25 oz of breast milk per day. 
  • He hates pacifiers. He’ll immediately spits it out whenever we try to give him one. 
  • He seems very alert and aware of his surroundings. He’ll track you with his eyes and is already reaching for toys hanging overhead. 
  • He’s usually very congested and snores a lot.

Ryan's progress report

Ryan had his school portraits. (Had we remembered that it was picture day, we would have at least tried harder to tame the hair)...

This was the first year Ryan really seemed to enjoy trick-or-treating. He kept wanting to go to more houses. Not only did he love trick-or-treating, he loved answering the door and passing out candy. Everytime he answered the door he would always sneak an additional piece of candy into his own bucket. DSC_6956-Edit.jpg
