All is well around the Graham home. After being sick and wishing for death last week, I think we're all on the mend and back to normal. Joey is sleeping really well at night which makes a huge difference in how mama feels during the day. We took him back to the doctor yesterday to have his circumcision checked and all is well. He weighed in at 7 pounds 13 1/2 ounces which means he's gained back up to his birth weight. He's a pretty personable little fellow and is quite the snuggler. I know that these days will pass too quickly and we'll have to work on him being a tough little man-child, but for now, I'm enjoying his snuggling. No worries, I'll not turn him into a mama's boy, but I figure at only 17 days old, it's okay that he loves being close to his mama!
After I'd given Joey a bath a few days ago, we noticed that his skin was quite dry in several places. As I was changing his clothes one evening, Sarah Grace noticed the white flakes of skin on his feet and hands which prompted her to ask, "Is Joey salty?" I said, "No dear, he just has some dry skin." She's pretty curious and quite funny in her commentary. Diaper changes have been interesting (I've only been sprayed twice, but it was quite impressive) and have provided opportunity for anatomy lessons. Sarah Grace has been most curious about the differences and, after having it all explained using correct terminology, asked "Does Abby have a peanut?" Nope, no peanuts there!
