Before we delve into the weekend activities, an update on Pierce's weight gain....On Thursday, Pierce weighed in a 9 lbs. 3 oz. which was a 4 oz. gain from last week. Though still a bit low on the gain, we are making slow and steady progress. Pierce looks great and healthy, so we're definitely on the right track...I'm just looking forward to the day when I don't have to pump 8-10 times a day in addition to nursing!
This weekend Pierce was introduced to his Aunt Darcy, Great Aunts JoAnne and Vickie, and Great Uncles Eddy and Steve. Family was in town to celebrate Liz Morris' 60th birthday party and enjoyed a lovely cruise on the Charles River. Pierce charmed them all, and can't wait to meet/see more family this upcoming weekend (hooray Nana, Chris, Liz and Foster).
As Pierce enters his 6th week, he is up and alert for much longer periods during the day which have allowed us to play with some new toys. He loves his rattle, a couple of interactive "Jelly" balls, and his new play activity gym. He has discovered his own reflection in the mirror and coos away while batting at some of the toys overhead. Very cute!
He has also started making some noises and faces. He has mastered lifting up his eyebrows, pursing his lips, gazing (lovingly!) into our eyes, and there is a glimmer of a smile. Can't wait to see the real deal soon!
