Sage at 3 weeks


Sage has been going to the doctor weekly for weight checks. At the previous appointment, Sage had actually lost weight (from 6lbs. 11 oz. to 6 lbs. 5 oz.) and we decided to supplement breast feeding with formula. Apparently, mom isn't making enough milk just yet. So, after just five days of supplementing with formula, Sage has made a dramatic come back. He now weighs 7 lbs, 6 oz. He gained a whole pound in just five days!!! His feet are too big for the feet in his newborn clothes and he can't stretch out all the way anymore because his legs are too long. He will soon outgrow the newborn size diapers!

Life with baby is fantastic! Sage is spending more and more time awake (too bad it's not always during daylight). He enjoys playing, singing, being read to, and studying mommy and daddy's faces. He doesn't like getting his diaper changed or taking a bath (as you can see in the picture).
