One Week

Jim didn't go back to work until Tuesday night, so he and Jack got to do some fun Halloween things Monday and Tuesday. On Monday, they went to the Magic House for a members-only Halloween morning. Jack got to play with his friend, Margo.

Superman went down the slide faster than a speeding bullet. Jack has become quite fond of the number 5. If we say we will read 2 books, he says, "No. Five books." as he shows us 5 fingers. If we say we are leaving in 3 minutes, he says, "No. Five minutes." He apparently wanted to, "Go down the slide 5 times."

On Tuesday, Jim and Jack went to a Halloween party at the Transportation Museum. It was little surprise that Jack spent the majority of the time playing with the trains.


Yesterday I took Patrick to his one week check-up. When we left the hospital, he weighed 7 lbs, 9 oz. Six days later, at his check-up, he weighed 8 lbs, 10 oz! Clearly one or both scales are slightly off. I don't think he really gained over a pound in less than a week. Regardless, he is gaining weight which is great! Also, they measured him at 21.5 inches - a full inch more than at birth. I am sure he didn't grow an inch in a week, so one or both measurements were probably off as well.

Tonight we gave Patrick his first "bath." He didn't mind it so much, but he did not like being naked after it was over. We dried him off with this great towel my cousin made him.
