Yep, that's our son! He gained 1 pound 10 ounces in 2 weeks. We visited our midwives at 21 days to have Landon's weight checked and to get some breastfeeding help. We were both blown away when the scale read 8 lbs 6 oz. We knew he had gained weight (look at those cheeks) but we figured he'd be in the 7 lb range not the 8's. We don't mind. He's an eater just like his parents. Both of us were born "smaller" but put on the pounds quickly and that's exactly what Landon is doing. We are so proud! I guess we don't need help with breastfeeding then?? Actually we did and the help from the midwives has made a huge difference. Obviously Landon was getting plenty to eat, but Shani was having some pain that she thought should be gone by now and she was correct. We are on our way to things getting better.
John's dad came into town this week and met his grandson for the first time. It was really special to have him around. John really enjoyed introducing his son to his Dad. We've been able to spend a lot of time together with the Mac's as a whole family which has been great. Grandma Mac also had her birthday while they were here so we celebrated that as well. Cousin Morgan finally got the courage to hold Landon for the first time (with the help of Auntie Kim). She had been a little frightened of hurting him after being told how fragile babies are. She did a great job!
