I can't believe that Micah is almost 5 weeks old already! It has already been over a month since he was born! In so many ways it seems like only last week! He is growing and last Thursday at his 4 week checkup he weighed in at 10lbs 12.5 oz, which means he gained 1lb 12.1 oz since he was born (not counting the weight he had to gain to get back up to his birth weight!)
He is a great baby and has even been sleeping 4-6 hours in a stretch at night which Mommy loves! (though it often starts earlier than I am wanting to go to sleep so I am still not getting quite that much sleep at a time) We are slowly reducing the amount of formula he is getting as a supplement as my milk supply is increasing. He still often gets a 1-2 ounces of formula at one of his nighttime feedings which I think helps with the longer stretches of sleep.
Yesterday, the three of us headed out along with my mom for our first extended outing. We headed out to Deer Lake in Burnaby to do some letterboxing. (see here for more info on letterboxing) We had a great time and look forward to many more letterboxing outings with Micah! It was a day of many firsts for us - first letterboxing outing with Micah, first time changing Micah in the stroller on the side of the path!, first time nursing while walking!!, and for me, the first LONG walk since having Micah (we were walking for probably close to 3 hours)
I have some photos to add to this, but it is harder to do with only one hand so they will have to wait till later.
