Little Man has been in the world for three weeks now...where did the time go? I feel like I blinked, and nearly a month has gone by.
He's got a pretty good life. He's a healthy boy, except for a B12 vitamin issue. We've been working with his peditrician and a geneticist to figure out why he doesn't have the correct amount of B12 in his system. Most likely, it's my fault...turn's out Mama Bear's diet of pasta and cheese isn't very well rounded. I have changed my diet significantly since he came into the world, and since I'm nursing, it should affect Little Man in a positive way. He also got a B12 shot at the peditrician's office earlier this week. He gets tested again in several weeks to see if those things solved the problem.
He's blown past his birthweight...he's up to 9 pounds, 4 ounces and he's grown about an inch. He's very alert, and while he still sleeps a lot, he's very interactive when he's awake. He sleeps for four hour streches at night and continues to be fond of 3 AM.
His dark hair is starting to lighten up a little bit and is very curly, especially post-bath. Speaking of baths, he's not so sure about them yet...but for the most part, he doesn't seem to mind them. He's starting to discover his tongue, and sticks it out a lot and tries to grab it with his hands. He manages to find his thumb every now and then, and that pleases him greatly.
He's a happy baby, and that makes for a happy (albeit sleeeeepy) family.
