Growing and Changing

For the past couple of weeks, we have been focusing on the not-so-glamorous side of baby life: acid reflux, cradle cap, and baby acne. Kian took a trip to the doctor's office on September 22nd to get checked out for reflux and had a chance to get back on the scale. In these most recent photos taken today, there is clear evidence that this boy has been eating well! Note the double (triple?) chin.



For those who are interested, the progression of Kian's weigh-ins is as follows: At birth on 8/10/08 he weighed 8 lb.... At his first doctor's visit on 8/14 we saw that he dropped down to 7 lb., 8 oz.... At his 2-week check-up on 8/25 we marveled at a healthy weight increase to 9 lb., 2.5 oz.... and as a 6-week-old on 9/22, we were shocked when the scale read 12 lb., 8 oz.!!



















Here are a couple more pictures (taken on 9/15/08) that show some facial expressions of Kian's that continue to entertain us....
