One week old

Eli turned one week old last night and we're glad to report that he is so sweet natured (except when he's hungry and the Mummy is being slow with prepping herself for breastfeeding or the supplement milk bottle.. that, and when you change his diaper! He seem to hate the cold). The little one has been sleeping and nursing well and I pray he keeps it up since he needs all the growing he can get being such a tiny little thing!

Anyways, we took him for his first pediatrician visit today and he's progressing well. His one week stats are as follows;

Weight: 5lbs, 11 1/2 oz (almost birth weight, yay!)
Height: 19 inches (one whole inch since birth)
Head: 34 1/2 cm

His circumcision seems to be healing well and so does the umblical cord so hopefully in a few weeks, these areas would be all ready to go :)
