Quick Alex Update

Baby is doing great. You know how you just want to eat their face off, that's how I feel when I look at him. Anyways, at his two week appointment I was faced with some different situations. First of all he weighed in at 9lbs! So he gained more than a pound and a half since leaving the hospital. I didn't realized my milk was like butter milk. My other two kids were such spitters that they didn't gain weight super quick in the beginning. Then the doctor saw that he was tongue tied. We all realized that in the hospital. What is tongue tied? I don't know but that thing under his tongue went all the way to the end of his tongue. So he couldn't stick out his tongue very far and the skin would pull back his tongue so it looked like a snake. Weird. It obviously wasn't affecting his eating habits. I guess it's really common but I have never heard of it. It wasn't that bad the Dr. said but he does leak milk sometimes when he drinks so he went ahead and cut it. Painful? Actually no, he didn't even cry. Second weird thing was he was born with a skin tag on his nipple. Again, why? Who knows. So the Dr tied a piece of suture around it and it's suppose to just fall off. It hasn't yet. Third weird thing about this kid is I noticed he has so many soft spots on his head. The Dr felt all of them and said everything was normal but he does have bigger gaps so we just have to be careful on rotating him when he sleeps so he doesn't get a flat head. Interesting. Well that's about all the excitement that's been going around here. I am glad Alex only has minor weird things wrong with him. He still the cutest kid ever.
