He has a blocked tear duct, so we've been wiping a little gunk out of his eye and putting drops of breastmilk in it per the recommendation of the pediatrician. My mom couldn't believe that was the remedy these days. Other than that, he's doing really well.
A few milestones:
His first bottle yesterday with Daddy:
He loved it. Luckily, he also loved nursing right after. For proof, see the milk gut in the picture. It was one of the first bottles I pumped, so it was basically just an appetizer for Timmy (2.5 oz).
Post Bath:
He's happy when he's clean.
Already sucking his thumb:
This week PJO's parents have been here. They live on the east coast, so they're squeezing in as much time with Timmy this week as they can. Since they're holding him nonstop for the hours between 10am and 8pm, I feel like I'm sort of missing out on part of my time to enjoy my newborn before I go back to school. This makes every minute I spend with him, nursing during the day and cuddling at night, 10 times more special.

It is so amazing to watch them go from this sometimes squalling, usually snuggly little creature into a real person with opinions and wants and needs than you can identify. (And it's amazing how quickly it happens!)
ahhh- so cute! he looks so tiny though! thats about how big jacob's head was at birth- we have some big headed boys!!
My son had that tear duct thing, too .. and the crap I was supposed to put in it. Which was awful. Eventually, he only had it when he got a cold and then after a while, it went away completely.
Heh - my son was almost 10 lbs when he was BORN!
