Evan is Term Today!

We have been waiting a long time for today! This is the day that Evan was due to be born, so now we can consider him a "newborn" - with this milestone comes all the developmental skills that a newborn typically has - rooting reflexes, etc that we have come to appreciate very much. Today Evan is a full 6 weeks old and continues thrive at home. Our appointment with the lactation consultant on Thursday proved to be very effective and now that we have been consistently applying the tips at home little Evey is almost exclusively breastfeeding and only takes a bottle for his 1am feeding (thank you daddy for doing that feeding!). We are SO excited that his feeding transition has gone so smoothly. Here are some pics to mark the occasion - note his chubby little rolls! Yay!
