Fisher Yarbrough...Room 3!

Fisher Cole had his 2 week checkup today! He did great, of course! He has gained a good amount of weight since our last visit after leaving the hospital. He went from 7# 10oz to 8# 11oz...mommy's little piggy! Dr. Bill said that was just right for him. We told him we changed from breastfeeding to formula, and he was happy with our formula choice of Enfamil Gentlease. So far, Fisher is doing really well on that. Spits up just a tiny bit when he burps or has the hiccups, but nothing major. Dr. Bill said he is happy with his growth and how he's doing, so we don't even have to come back for a 1 month checkup. He will just see him for a 2 month visit! He did have to get a heal prick for his second newborn screen and was not happy about that :( After a few tears and screams he was ok and we were out the door!

Some updates on Mr. Fisher...

• Size newborn clothes and diapers
• Cord fell off last night (at exactly 2 wks old)
• Lots of dark hair
• Eyes are looking very deep blue
• More awake times during the day; follows rattles and toys with his eyes
• Taking around 3.5-4oz formula every 3-4 hours
• Struggling with night/day sleep patterns, but getting better ;)
• Loves his "minky" (monkey wubbanub paci)
• Sleeps best in his boppy lounger

No more cord!

Jonah likes to bring brubby some toys. He even shared his hammer and wrench :)

We are starting to really get the hang of this having 2 kids thing. We even took a family outing one day. We had lunch and spent some time at Botanical Gardens on a pretty day. It was nice to get out into the real world. Cabin fever was really setting in!

Mommy and her angels!

On another note: It's my birthday!!! For Mother's Day after Jonah was born, I got a necklace with his name, birthstone, and birthday engraved. For my birthday this year, I got one for Fisher! I was upset when it first came, because it ended up not being the same size as Jonah's, but it actually looks good with having 2 different sizes. Love my mommy necklace! 

Derek knows me too well... 

I decided that Jonah B needed to do an art project today, so he painted something special for mommy. He started out using a pompom/clothespin to paint with... 

Then he asked to use his finger... 

Then he dug in! 

Mommy's birthday balloons :) 

Newborn Pics

I didn't have official newborn pictures made with Jonah, and I truly regret that. I took some myself, but it's just not the same as having a professional doing them. We decided on Grant Dopson (GMD Photography) to take some pictures of our sweet angel boy. He has done our Christmas pictures the past 2 years, and we have really like them. He came over on the Saturday after we got home with Mr. Fisher and set up his equipment in Fisher's room. We had a hard time getting Fisher to sleep, so some of his pictures were with wide eyes! That's ok, though. We just couldn't get a whole lot of the newborn wadded up kinda pictures! I am SO happy with how they turned out! I love that they capture every little detail of his sweet little self. I will treasure these pictures forever!
