5 Week Well Baby Visit

Colt went for his 5 week well baby visit which should have been done at 4 weeks. You would think I, of all people, would be ontime with his check ups. He weighed in at 9 lbs. 1 oz. and is 21 inches long. Everything else checked out fine. I am so glad his weight is up because he lost so much right after birth. He is finally back to where he should be. We have only one more health issue to overcome and that is his circumcision. Our pediatrician doesn't like to do circumcisions on premature baby boy's because of their size and that they are harder to take care of. Next week Colt will get that done and hopefully all will go well. He has started waking up only once at night which is a huge blessing. I can handle once just not every 2 hours like before. Since changing to the lactose free formula he has started eating much better. Yesterday he came down with a runny nose so he's been a little cranky. I love watching him change from day to day. Lately he has been more alert and taking in his surroundings. I can't wait until he starts smiling at me!!!
