Settling in...

Miles has been home for almost a month now. We are settling into a nice rhythm around the house. I still haven't gotten a lot of work done, but Miles is making strides in a number of ways.

The breastfeeding is going pretty well. My let down is strong and he sometimes gets too much and ends up coughing and sputtering a bit. He also spits up sometimes if I am not careful to elevate his head and get a nice strong burp from him every once in a while. Overall, I am pleased with his weight gain (he has porked up to 7 lbs  11 ounces as of last Friday) and excited for our progress.

Miles is also tracking things with his eyes more often. He loves to play in his owl jungle. He tries to use his hands and feet to punch/touch the owls flying around his head. It's pretty cool to see his little brain working and we always make a big deal when he successfully lands a good "hit."

He is also doing well with his tummy time. He will use his neck to turn his head from one side to the other. He is a strong little bugger!

Finally, he has developed some baby acne on his face. We were told not to put any lotion or anything on it so that it would not spread. It clears up a little every day. Still, we make jokes at him that hopefully it will clear up by the prom. Ha! He is still pretty freakin' cute though.

That is all the updates for now. On Monday, Miles will be a month old. Perhaps we will celebrate by going out to dinner or something. ;)
