It's no April Fool's joke, Mario's getting to be a little man (as opposed to the wee man he was when he was born). He weighed in at 9 lbs, 14 oz this past Thursday. His doctor is very happy with how he's doing and said we can skip a week and go back in 2 weeks for the next weight check. She's just monitoring his progress, not concerned about anything. He has been doing well with the straight breastfeeding and I've been working on getting my supply in sync with his demand. I'm pumping less often and only when I really need too for my own comfort. Dom's happy about that too, because the breast milk bags have really taken over the big freezer in the basement, leaving little room for grown-up food! Now Mario just has to improve his efficiency and we'll be golden. Of course, that will come with time, as it does with every baby.
After his doctor's appointment on Thursday, we met up with my co-worker, Tanya, for lunch. Mario was very good and slept in his carrier the whole time. He woke up for a brief period, but went right back to sleep.
He got another dose of the Synagis vaccine on Friday. He wasn't too happy with getting a shot, but he's a tough little guy and only cried for a little bit. He has one more dose of it to go this year, the end of April.
This weekend we had lots of company. Friday night, Aunt Corissa, Uncle Ryan and cousin Owen came down and we hung out. Then, on Saturday, Uncle Nick and Alana joined us. We all enjoyed each other's company and some good food, courtesy of Dom. We're looking forward to lots of similar get-togethers so the boys can play with each other as they get older.
