2 Week Update: We Didn't Starve the Baby!

Child protective services-- take the afternoon off!  We went in for our two week pediatrician's appointment, and Leo passed with flying colors. Our parenting has proven totally adequate!

He's now up to 8 pounds 13 oz., getting back to his birth weight and then some.  On a related note, our son is a bottomless void of ravenous hunger.  It is absolutely all I can do to keep up.  I shudder to think of what the food consumption will look like when he's a teenager.  We probably shouldn't get any delicious pets.

Even the cucumbers aren't safe!
Unfortunately, she also mentioned that we shouldn't let him sleep face down on our chests for long periods.  Although falling asleep on two warm pillows that smell like your favorite food sounds divine, it's also a smothering risk.  So, we're going to work on getting him to sleep in his bassinet.  We may be in for a long night.

Here's hoping.
