Back up to Birth Weight- plus a little!!!

We had a successful pediatrician's visit yesterday- Gil is now up to 10 pounds 6 ounces. Which is pretty incredible, especially when you consider that he lost down to about 9'10"- it is a little harder for the big ones to bounce back up to their birthweight- so we are super proud of our little Mooseman.

He's still slightly jaundiced although his bilirubin levels are down- Dr. Tennis recommended that we take him outside and let him sun a little to help break down the remaining bilirubin. That's right- the weather's 60 degrees and sunny and gorgeous again today.

I did not green light the taking off of baby shirts, but Eric, Vake, Gil and I did stroll down to Fox School to play on the playground this morning- you'd be hard pressed to find a nicer day in January.

Had a slightly rougher night last night- it is amazing how the first couple of nights of interrupted sleep aren't so bad but after about a week or so, they start to wear on you a little!!!!
