Well Baby Visit

Today we had another well baby visit with Luis' pediatrician, Dr. Smith, (whom we love.) We have noticed a clear discharge out of the baby's left eye, occuring persistently now for about two weeks. Per Dr. Smith, it happens to be just a nasolacrimal duct obstruction (clogged tear duct). So nothing to be concerned about. We will massage the baby's eye area three times daily and that should clear it up right away.  The baby did need to have his second Hepatitis B vaccination shot, which was tough for Luis (daddy) and I. Fortunately, he cried for about 2 minutes then quickly forgot that the offense ever occured! 

Baby Luis is growing and doing so well!  He now weighs 10 pounds, 4 ounces and is 23 inches long!  He remains in the 90th percentile for height and 50th percentile for weight.  Yes!  Luis and I had to high five each other after hearing that! What's even better- Dr. Smith informed us that we no longer need to wake the baby in the middle of the night to feed.  He is progressing on the growth chart and there is no concern that he is not feeding well or not putting on enough weight.  So that's big news for us!  Tonight I will not need to set my alarm to wake every three hours.  Let's see how long he sleeps on his own.  Earlier this evening I breastfed him, then we left for a walk around 8:15; he was asleep the entire walk and remains asleep until now (it is 11:20pm!)
