Early Milestones

Since it's been a few days since our last post, I wanted to catch everyone up on Graham's latest milestones:

1. His umbilical cord has been gone for nearly two weeks now. It fell off on Friday, February 4th...the day before Mimi (a.k.a. Denise) left to return to Catonsville.
   
2. He's continued to gain weight. Thanks to the Durham Connects program, we had a nurse pay us a FREE in-home visit on February 9th to assess Graham, see how things were going, and answer any questions that we had. They weighed and measured Graham at the appointment, and he was up to 11 pounds, 5 ounces and 23 inches long. That's a gain of almost 3 pounds and one inch in 3 weeks! We hope he slows down soon, because we can't imagine having a 52-pound one-year-old. : )
   
3. He's experienced his first growth spurt. Yesterday (February 16th) he fed more frequently than usual, and today he's sleeping more than usual. With as big as he is, I can't believe the boy is experiencing a growth spurt!

Our boy turns a month old tomorrow, and we have his one-month well visit at the pediatrician next week. As he grows, our love for him grows. Matt and I continue to feel incredibly blessed by this little man.
