1st Dr, 1st outing

We've had a couple big days as mom is back to her old self and little Mack is finding his way in the world.

We went to Mack's 1st dr appt on Thursday, he's doing great and put on 10 oz since we checked out of the hospital Saturday. We all know I can gain 10 oz during appetizers, but it's pretty impressive when it's 10% of his body weight!

Cabin fever is setting in big time for Katie and me both, so we took Mack on his first adventure yesterday. We hit Winter Park for a nice walk and a couple drinks. Mack was content in his jog stroller, and Katie is STOKED to be able to drink again. Here's a pic of Mack and I in the park, because Katie can't go anywhere without a camera now...
He slept the entire time.
Sahsa's still doing great too. Here she is on the couch with her "titty bear". It's a pink ribbon branded dog toy that was a gift from Kate, who as you read in Katie's latest update, stood in for me in the delivery room. She's a cancer survivor as well and is really one of the most cherished people in our lives. BTW, Sahsa isn't allowed on the couches when dad is around, so I must have been running errands when this was taken...


Little Mack in his swing. He loves this thing, but even it hasn't been able to get him to sleep the last couple nights. He's still sleeping all day, but wakes up at like 10, then screams till 12 or 1. Once he wares himself out he sleeps like 5 hours, but he's having trouble settling down after that 10pm feeding. Suggestions?

Dad and Mack passed out late in the USC/Ohio State game. We'll see a repeat of this scene today as I got DirecTV installed this week so I'll never miss a Seahawks game again. I've been holding out for a couple years and just going to sports bars for Hawks games. Mack likes to go too, but the ladies are always crowding in on him, blocking the screens. We'll be better at home.... :-)
