Carter had his two-week check-up today and he is gaining weight. What a relief! He still has little bird legs, but that’s because he grew 2.5 inches compared to the “mere” 8 ounces he added to his birth weight. We are raising a string bean!

Here are his stats:
7 lb 12 oz = 25%ile
22 inches = 90%ile

Oh, and did I mention that he sleeps between four and six hours between feedings at night? That’s why I was really hoping that he had gained weight, because I don’t want to have to wake him up to feed him more often — selfish, I know but I have really been enjoying the once-a-night feedings. And luckily, they can continue because Carter is getting what he needs, hurray!!

Someday he will grow into his skin!
