According to some definitions, Stronner has officially graduated from newborn to full-blown infant.  That’s right, the first two weeks are behind us, and we are all still alive – though the longest stretch of sleep any of us has gotten in those two weeks is 4 or 5 hours.  Stronner has been a little slow to regain his birth weight, still a quarter pound shy as of yesterday, but he’s making progress and has surprising strength in his neck, arms and legs.  Of course, Fiona could have told you that when he was still in the womb!

Our pediatrician warned us that the next month or so will probably see an increased level of gas and discomfort as Stronner’s digestive system continues to develop, so we’ll just have to keep helping him cope.  He’s particularly fond of singing and dancing – his current favorite tune is “She’ll Be Coming ‘Round the Mountain”.
