Ryan (3 weeks)

It's amazing how a child that sleeps 20 hours per day can be so time-consuming. You'd think I'd be able to get 8 hours of sleep with a child that sleeps so much, but I'm lucky to get 6 hours and Brooke barely gets 4 hours.

Ryan was born 7 lbs 10 oz. After 2 days, his weight was down to 7 lbs 1 oz, which is normal. At his first pediatrician visit 7 days after he was born, his weight was back up to 7 lbs 12 oz. At 2 weeks old, he weighed 9 lbs!

We've been giving Ryan daily sun exposure to help alleviate his case of jaundice...and it seems to have helped. It wasn't obvious to me at the time, but looking back at the early photos, he was clearly yellow.
