11.5 weeks old and oh soooooooooo cute.....

Removing the "K"

You will notice that I am no longer typing Nick with a "K" but simply as Nic....this is at the direct request of his granny in South Africa as she says there is no "K" in Nicholas so why am I adding it when I shorten his name....hell I dunno, I thought that was how you spell Nick (lol) so from now on he will be Nic Robertson minus the "K".

Took Nic to the clinic today and he has gained a further 280 grams which is over the ounce a day or 30 grams a day that the clinic is wanting so they are once again very chuffed....he now weighs 6.12kgs and is a whopping 4kgs more than he was at birth. He is spending a lot more time awake during the day and is generally on the go from around 7.30 am until 10.00am and then he literally conks out until 3pm when he again wakes up till about 7.30 pm.

How my mommy keeps my dummy in my mouth

Now that I have seen the osteopath I am far more willing to sleep somewhere other then on my mom

Very nearly 11 weeks old.......

Spending quality time with my dad

I am learning to hold my head up on my own

Weigh In - 9th October 2008

Clinic day again, I just can't believe how quickly the weeks pass. Nicholas had another good weight gain and is now 5.84kgs and the health care workers are thrilled with his progress. He is now quite stable with his head when sitting on our laps, just a little bobbing around, but very sweet. He is smiling more and more each day and is really experimenting with his voice, he hates being on his own and spends the entire time moaning to get attention...he is much loved by both his brother and sister and spends many happy times sitting on their laps while they watch tv. He truly is a little blessing, I asked the older two the other night if they were glad that we had had him, and for the first time in a long time they were in total agreement with an infatic YES!
