Trying something new to keep everyone updated on Aaron!

Hi Everyone!

This is so unlike me, but a friend suggested that I set up a blog to share photos and information regarding Aaron, rather than sending out a bunch of e-mail updates all the time. So I'm going to give it a try. Seems easy enough so far!

Aaron is now 2 weeks old. He now weighs 8 lbs. and 5 oz. (50th percentile) and is 21 1/2 inches long (75th percentile). We worked through some early breast feeding issues which caused a little more weight loss than we'd hoped, started supplementing with formula, and after much hard work by all of us, are now feeding Aaron with only formula. Turns out that doesn't all work out every time, no matter how hard you try! We are just thrilled that Aaron is gaining weight and getting bigger and stronger! He is spending a little more time awake everyday and he loves to be held, seems to like his swing, and tolerates some tummy time every day! We think more about poo than we ever thought possible and after a change of formula, it seems like Aaron's little digestive system is getting it all figured out!

We thank you all for the e-mails, phone calls, cards, visits, and gifts. Everyone has been SO generous and we can't thank you enough!

I'm going to try to update this blog at least weekly, so check back to see how Aaron is growing and changing!

Much love-
Ann, Tim, & Aaron :)
