The week has flown by. Chase visited the pediatrician yesterday for a check up and all is going well. He weighs 6 lbs 15 oz, up 2 ounces since birth and up 9 ounces from his lowest weight at the hospital. I had a setback with nursing Saturday morning and so I fed him by the bottle for Saturday but by Sunday was ready to give the nursing thing a try again, it is getting better. Definitely easier in the middle of the night than going to get a bottle, washing it, etc.
Parker is still pretty excited about the new addition. She told us she announced to her friend at school that she has a little brother and she was real excited as she told us the story. She got her hair cut this weekend and the lady asked if she could have Chase and Parker said no, not even for a lollipop, good sign. Check back in 5 years and we will see what she says then. She likes to help me get stuff for the baby and loves to look at him and rub his head. We did some tummy time with him last night and she loved that. She got to see him raise his head and turn it to the other side. He has a strong little neck.
Here is a picture of Chase at one week old, relaxing in his bouncy seat.
