weight gain and play dates



Today (actually yesterday) we took Patrick to the local clinic to be weighed again. We were pleased to find out that he is now gaining well, weighs 3.5 kg (times 2.2 for pound equivalent, you do the math). This is a relief because at the beginning he wasn't gaining so well and I got a lecture (en francais) from the clinic employee on how to breastfeed him more frequently and better. If my french were better, I would have invited her over to try and do it better herself. Patrick was so pleased about the news he promptly refused to eat for 6 hours...

Then Patrick's new friend Tessa came for a visit. Tessa is 3 1/2 months old and seems huge to me! She's very cute and smiles a lot and actually acknowledges those around her, which is something to look forward to.
