Shadow box

Here is a shadow box that I made for Joel.

Dislikes: diaper changes, having his face washed, tummy time

2 wk doctors appointment

Joel had his 2 week doctor appointment today. He is doing wonderfully. He now weights 7 lbs and is in the 10th percentile for his age. His head measures 34 cm which is the 10th percentile for his age. He also still measures 20 cm long which is the 25th percentile for his age. He is a tiny guy. The doctor gave us the go ahead to let him sleep as long as he can at night and wake on his own which means that I can sleep for an extended period of time if he lets me. Our next appointment will be when he is 2 months old and then he will get his first vaccines.

Joel's Bris

Today was a very special day for Joel. He is 7 days old and in the Jewish faith that means that he has a Bris. A Bris is a Jewish ceremony for the circumcision. Here are some pictures of the event.
