Weighing in at...

Nainoa weighs 20 lbs 14 ounces and he is 26 inches long. He is off his charts as far as his percentile for weight. Doc. Moore said he is looking good, he's exactly where he should be as far as development goes. He told me not to worry about him rolling over or anything. His daughter didn't roll over until 6 months. Nainoa can roll to his side but he can't roll over his huuuge belly. All the nurses asked, "Daaaaamn Momma what are you feeding him???" When I replied, "Just booby milk." They asked, "Well what are YOU eating??" HA! Baby is definitely teething. He's total drool-o-rama. Sometimes he gags because there is so much drool in his mouth. He loves to practice standing. He can sit up by himself for a nano second and then he topples over because he is just so top heavy. He can be on his belly a lot more and he likes to scooch. When he is on his tummy I put pressure on his feet, he pushes with his strong legs and moves a few inches forward. Nainoa has some LEEEGGGS. They are so thick! Definitely got that from Mommy. He got his Prevnar and Hib shot today. He cried after but only for like a minute. Today I'm going to be away from him all day today. (a little anxious...gulp) Lolo and Lola are out of town which means Daddy gets him all day!

Nainoa had his 4 month Dr. visit today and he weighed in at 18 lbs. 14 oz!!! Just two ounces shy of 19 pounds. He is 25 1/2 inches long. Dr. Moore said he looks really gooood and said, "Wow! He's uuuuuge!" (He doesn't pronounce his H's like my friend Elo) Doc also said I could start him on solids if I wanted but I just don't think I am ready. Nainoa got his 2nd DTAP shot and didn't cry, just a small whimper. Man.......my arms will hopefully look like Rocky's just by picking up my son! Who needs to lift weights when I have my Big Buddah boy???

Pediasure Boobies

Yesterday we took Nainoa for his one month check-up. He already weighs 11lbs 13oz. Almost 12 pounds and he's only 5 weeks old! The nurse and the doctor were so amazed that he's gained so much weight by just my breast. They usually like to see babies double their weight by 3 months and Nainoa is 2 pounds shy of doubling his weight at 5 weeks! He is in the 90 percentile for his weight and 50 percentile for his head. (The percentile chart is based on bottle fed babies so he was extra impressed) We had to have the Dr. explain that to us because we really didn't understand what that meant. Dr. Moore said he was very healthy boy and to keep up the good work breast feeding. He also said I was making Pediasure in my breast which made us laugh. HA!! As I am blogging I am pumping my right breast and I have pumped 6oz. Six ounces off of one side! I am sooooo amazed on the female body and how it produces nourishment for it's offspring. I mean it really amazes me. Making so much milk does have it's set back though. Well it's not a big deal, but I have such a forceable let down that Nainoa spits up a lot sometimes chokes because he is getting so much milk, so fast. I've been trying different techniques that I got off of KellyMom. (Love that website.) It seems to be helping.

Eye leaves tomorrow for his east coast tour with The Dan Band. It will be his first time away from baby. I am so thankful I have my parents here!
