Gaining and Losing Weight...

I was at the hospital two days ago and put Ian on the scale... he weighed in at 12 pounds 6 ounces! He's soon going to be off of the growth chart (he's currently at the 95th percentile for his age). Fortunately, as he gains weight, I continue to lose weight and, as he grows out of his clothes, I am finally fitting back into mine. If only I could find a way to market the breastfeeding weight-loss plan to the general public!
I'm continuing to enjoy my maternity leave. Ian is now sleeping pretty reliably at night with only one wake-up for feeding around 2am - he also can be counted on for a 2-3 hour nap around noon. Both of these recent developments have made his Mommy very happy. Here are a few recent pictures...

Ian is much more attentive with each day that passes... he particularly likes looking out the window.
A little smile...

He likes "the wiggles" (Daddy wiggles him back and forth really fast)
A goofy grin after the wiggles

And now, for a series of bum shots... I love how almost every pair of Ian's pants have a different animal on the bum. Too cute! Here's his "bum gallery"

FINALLY - I check in today and get to see SO many adorable pics of our favorite Crescent City baby! ;) Yes, I know...I check in daily (as you can tell from your "check-in database" ;), so I'm so, so happy to see cute little Ian with his own set of smilies and bum shots. Can't wait for little Sebastian to hold his head up as well as Ian - come on little guy! ;)

Love you all!! xoxox

It sounds like all is going well! The bum shots are adorable, and so is his little face! In case we keep playing phone tag, I was able to get the suitcase of clothes and my wonderful gift certificate! Thank you again for all the clothes as well as for the thoughtful gift certificate! I cannot wait to use it! I will be sure to load the suitcase back up and send it your way as of August!
