Firsts - October 16, 2009

Friday was a day of firsts:
  • First visit to the pediatrician
  • First x-ray (for right arm)
  • First visit to MeeMee's house
  • First smile
  • First visit with Lady

Zander saw the pediatrician yesterday morning for his first official office visit. He weighed 7 lbs 4 oz (down from 7 lbs 14 oz at birth). The pediatrician's initial assessment of his right arm is "erb's palsy". She ordered x-rays of the right arm. Marj and James took Zander to LMC for the x-rays and will meet with the pediatrician again Monday to check his weight and get the results of the x-rays.

James then dropped Marj and Zander off at MeeMee's house for the rest of the day while he went to his physical therapy appointment and to run errands. What a special treat for MeeMee (and Lady). He is so precious and such a good baby. He is drinking two ounces of formula every two hours and is happy and content in between feedings.

MeeMee got her hands on him for a little while and actually had him awake for a short while after his second feeding.

Poor thing, someone is always flashing bright lights in his face. I am attempting to steal every moment that I can get in pictures.


His mama had him smiling for her...even if it was in his sleep.

Lady wanted to know what this was that was taking her time away from Marj. She finally got used to him and laid in my lap while I fed Zander his second bottle.

Marj and James are great parents and are loving every minute of it. I am so proud of them.
