A smile and quite a lot of growth

Neil smiled today for the first time!

Feeling happy after a nice long nap!

Neil has made good progress growth-wise. Marisa had him weighed today and he now clocks in at 4.2 kg, which is some 600 g (17%) more than his birth-weight of 3.58 kg. As all babies lose weight after birth as they burn through their glycogen stores and dispose of water weight, Neil's discharge weight was about 3.3 kg (-8% from birth). So compared to that, he's managed to gain about 900 g (27%) in almost three weeks. Not bad!

All that milk has to go somewhere!
