Adventures of eating and sleeping

some wiggling around

By popular request, we’ve included some pictures of Thomas up close.  As you can imagine, it’s hard to get him to hold still long enough to take a picture.

3 week weight

peter - 26 September 2008

Weight update this morning.  The guesses:

  • Peter: 10 pounds 10 ounces
  • Grandpa Nick: 10 pounds 9 ounces
  • Grandpa Jim: 10 pounds 7 ounces
  • Kristel: 10 pounds 3 ounces
  • Grandma Eileen: 10 pounds 0 ounces
  • Grandma Kathy: 9 pounds 15 ounces

The result: 10 pounds 7 ounces *

* – for some reason, he got weighed at the doctor’s today with his clothes on (10 pounds 12 ounces), so we weighed the clothes seperately (4¾ ounces).

bump in the head

peter - 20 September 2008

We had our first visit to the local hospital on Friday morning for a CT scan of his head, but we’ve found out that the bump on the right side is just a bruise as we initially thought.  It’s just taking a bit longer than expected to go down.
