Yesterday marked 6 weeks since Rooney was born. The day itself was uneventful and we didn't celebrate or anything. I did have time to reflect on how much he has already changed and grown though. It may seem, from the last 2 posts, that I have been preoccupied with his "baldening", but in actuality I've been obsessing more on how tall he is getting.
When Roonster was born he was 21". By his 2 week MD appt he had grown 2 more inches to 23". When Grandma & Grandpa Wade (Mike's parents) were visiting we measured Rooney & he was 24". He is long enough now to be in 3-6mo. old clothes!!! Ahhhhhhhhh! I still have a lot of cute 0-3mo. clothes I want him to wear! I've already found 2 outfits that are iffy. Maybe if he keeps his toes curled & his knees bent he can wear them a little longer.
We do not know how much he weighs right now. 4 weeks ago he weighed 9lbs 7oz & God knows how much he's gained w/Mike feeding him 4oz every feeding. We've had a little debate going about whether we should be feeding him 3 or 4 oz @ a time. We've recently conducted experiments but we are now disagreeing on the results. I think I'll continue to make 3oz bottles, Mike will probably continue to make 4oz bottles & with the compromise of the two Rooney will be adequately fed.
