Six Week Checkup

Xander went to the doctor's on Friday for his second well-baby checkup. He's now 11 pounds 6 ounces, 22 1/2 inches long. The heart murmur that the doctor heard at his first checkup has healed.

Starting three nights ago, he began sleeping for 4 1/2 to 5 hour stretches. The lactation consultants mentioned that at around 12 pounds babies have enough weight on them to stay asleep longer without getting hungry. This is pretty lucky for us--once he gets 5 1/2 hours at a stretch he's officially considered to have "slept through the night."
