Yaay Jack! He gained 6 oz in one week and was an even 5lbs at the doctor today. He is also getting tall-- almost 18 inches long! He was 14 inches at birth. This was a different doctor than we went to last time. I won't go into too much detail, but we just weren't comfortable with our first choice. She was into "holistic" healing...and although I appreciate the art of massage and alternative medicine, coming from the NICU, we're more comfortable with a scientific approach. The new doctor is one of the attendings at Children's Memorial and seems very good. She said he looks good and we should just keep growing him. She also said the hemangioma on his head is nothing to worry about and it will go away "soon." So, we're not worried---hat season is right around the corner :-)
He made his debut to several family members at a Labor Day bbq and seemed to enjoy himslef. He thanks everyone for the cuddling and the kisses and for washing their hands first.

Hey - I beat Corry to the blog update!
Jack looks GREAT!! What are you feeding him, lead weights?? Whatever it is, keep up the good work.
It must have been difficult to share Jack with others. It was very nice of you to let aunts and uncles fingerprint him. I'm sure they all appreciate the opportunity to kiss his beautiful face.
Thanks for the update - you guys are awesome!
Love,
(your favorite) Aunt Nancy
Jack finally weighs more than the most meat I've consumed in a single sitting.*
Congratulations to your bouncing baby beefroast.
