6 Week Update

Posted by Aprille on Saturday, October 23, 2010, In : Baby Ezra

Ezra is now 6 (almost 7) weeks old! He weighs over 12 pounds now! Milestones this week were more smiles, him grasping onto things, and him FINALLY losing his umbilical cord stump! Last week we bought him this little playmat and he loves to lay there and look at the toys. He kind of is starting to bat at them but I'm not sure if he's really doing it on purpose so much as it's still just his little arms flailing around. Either way it is fascinating!

Posted by Aprille on Tuesday, October 5, 2010, In : Baby Ezra

Today Ezra is 4 weeks old! He has grown immensely in the last month and is changing and acting more grownup every day...it's astonishing!

It took him about 2 1/2 weeks, but he finally figured out how to nurse! Let me say that was a very rough process! I came very close to giving up on so many occasions, but I'm so glad that I didn't! Now he is breastfeeding exclusively which makes life easier on both of us.
