Well Baby Check #2
Today was our second well baby check. We did not need a doctor to tell us this baby is thriving. Just look at the wholesome goodness and judge for yourself.
11lbs 4oz, 22.5 inches, 20 days old
Attention mother's of new baby girls: we are now taking applications for future girlfriend(s) and potentially the future wife of this gorgeous baby boy. (We figured we would start now and in the next 25 to 30 years we will have steered him clear of any triffling women.) Please feel free to apply for the position in the comments area.
Applicant must be deliciously sweet, bright eyed, and attracted to toothless and balding* baby boys (who is expected to grow into a strapping fine figure of a man). A discerning palate in relation to breastmilk and formula is not required but is a plus. The ability to sleep through the incredibly loud noises of older sisters is an added plus. Early preparedness for potty training will move you to the head of the line. High maintenance young ladies are appreciated! Johnson and Johnson baby products (especially the lavendar scent) is an addiction we can share. *Growth spurts involving the teeth and hair are anticipated in the near future. Growth Progress Chart Birth weight/length: 9lbs 11oz, 22 inches Discharge weight: 9lbs 4oz 1st well baby check: 9lbs 11oz, 22 inches 2nd well baby check: 11lbs 4oz, 22.5 inches His bellybutton was gross and oozy like they tend to be and the umbilicus was hanging by a thread which I took matters into my own hands and cut it off -which grossed Steven out and made him visably shiver in revultion. When we left the hospital we were told the new method was to do nothing to them, not even clean them with alcohol -which grossed me out. Instead of listening to those fools, I have been cleaning it with witch hazel and keeping that bloody goo off his skin. The doctor told me today I did great. She would have cut it off too. She dotted the little place left to heal with silver nitrate to dry it up. That is the one thing I hate most about newborns. Yuck on dealing with that apron string. All of my babies had such thick umbilical cords that it didn't want to fall off and the doctors had planned to cauterize them if they didn't heal quickly. The doctor told me the thicker the umbilical cord the healthier the pregnancy. It seems every state has their own preference for caring for the cord site these days. The doctor and I discussed those things too as well as childhood vaccinations. The doctor is a southern gal too and we love to hear her talk. Gracie calls her accent "sassy southern". LOL No time to finish ... feeding time ... the boy is calling ... loudly ...

he is very healthy of course!
And a beautiful baby! Oh I could just squeeze he soft lavender babyness!
Give him a gental squeeze from me too-he so beautiful! how does he like older girls? My two year old niece Emerson is as cute as they come and smart too.;)
I'm with Gracie- i would love to hear his doctors wonderful accent too-
Does he like older women? I've got two very strong, smart ones that will tell him wht to do.
That is one peaceful-looking boy! And growing like the proverbial weed, too. You must be making some fine milk, woman.
Do you think he'd be interested in an older woman? :) Uh not me. My baby. Heh heh.
That child is gorgeous!
He looks like and angel!! I can almost smell the baby scent from here :)
He will undoubtedly choose my youngest grandaughter - the fairest of the fair.
He is so beautiful, Angie, and I love the stats in the post. We do want ALL the details. Dare I say it? His lips are soooooo kissable, as you have no doubt decided for yourself!
I'll start working on having a baby, and we'll just have to hope it is a girl. I'm sure he likes younger women, right?
I am also a little heeby jeeebied by the cord stump. I thought I was the only crazy one!
Are you going to throw that Red Buick in on the deal?
oooooh, ahhhhhh, giggle... I just want to nuzzle his cheeks! Wishing you well...
*snort* at the trifling women ;) He's a beauty!
hee hee.. I see the other mom's have already sent in their applications.
My girl 2 years old on March 15th.. fits the requirements perfectly. I'm sure when she's 25 and he's 23 the age won't be a problem? would it?
He's positively gorgeous! and precious.
Hello,
I have 2 girls. Hannah will be 3 in June and Phoebe will be 4 months on the 14h of March. You can look on my blog to see them. Ladyarchersplace.blogspot.com. He is a gorgeous boy!
Isn't he just precious! I love a new baby! You are truly blessed!
What a lovely little one! Future girlfriends: be prepared to get your hearts broken! ;)
I love your site! My son lost his cord stump one day shy of SEVEN WEEKS. I wiped it with rubbing alcohol every single diaper change those last few weeks, but it was so thick. It makes me happy to hear your doctor say that means he was healthy as I had diabetes while I was pregnant. He is now 13 months old and wonderful!
