Brendyn is One-Week-Old Today

Brendyn is one-week-old today. In his first week, he's reached the following milestones:
* On Tuesday, he had his one-week follow up appointment with our pediatrician and he weighed in at 7 lbs 12.5 ounces.
* He is eating great - he's finishing a 2 ounce bottle of formula and taking in the same amount when I nurse him.
* He enjoyed a nice stroller ride at Roswell Area Park yesterday while big sister Kate enjoyed the playground. Weather was 75 degrees yesterday and it felt great to be outside.
* We saw our pediatrician yesterday for another weight re-check and since it would be another month until we go again, and I'm proud to say that Brendyn gained 4 ounces in two days! He's a hungry little guy. :)
* The best way to describe Brendyn is he's a mellow fellow. He is such a calm baby, he only cries or whimpers when he is hungry or needs a diaper change and the rest of the time he is sleeping peacefully. He loves to be held and cuddled. He likes to curl up in the fetal position and fall asleep on your chest. Its so cute.
