Elliott had a good two-week appointment… he gained 2x more weight in the past 10 days than he “needed” to gain. Yeah! I feel like, when you’re staying at home with a newborn, a mom’s primary measures of “success” are: the baby’s weight gain, the baby’s sleeping and not having the house a complete disaster area. The first two counteract everything else going on (e.g. post-labor recovery, a messy house, lack of sleep, etc.)
When Natalie got home from preschool, she confirmed the good bill of health.


So cute!! It’s like her very own real live doll to play with :-).
