July 17: Milk Monster

11 days old

Jackson had his second doctor’s appointment today and he gained almost a pound in a week! He is now a whopping 8 lbs (well, 7lbs 15.5 oz) (up from 7lbs, 1 oz at the last appointment)!

 

Jackson had his first bottle of pumped milk today and took it easily. His proud daddy finally got to actively participate in feeding the little milk monster. He earned this name today because it was a cluster feeding day. He juuuust couldn’t get enough food in his little belly to satisfy him.

He also went for his first walk to… the Needham Junction for ice cream! I had Coconut Almond Bar; I am training his palate to have the same favorite flavor as his mom and dad 🙂

Mmmm! Coconut Almond Bar Ice Cream! (Check out how flexible his feet are. The soles are touching!)

 

Big day for the l’il milk monster.
