Well, James has had an eventful past twenty-four hours. The most important thing was his trip to the doctor today, where he weighed in at a nice five pounds, fourteen ounces. Way (or weigh) to go, James! He'll go back to be weighed again on Friday, where we hope he will reach six pounds.
The other exciting event of this past day was James's first bath. Rest assured that we have not just left the poor kid festering in his own filth for the first week of his life. He's been getting sponge baths because his umbilical cord and circumcision wound couldn't be submerged in water. However, last night, both hindrances had healed properly, and we could put him in a bath. James seemed prepared to enjoy the whole experience at first, but, as the water cooled, so did his attitude towards the task at hand. At a new personal best, James managed to poo on Daddy, and wet squarely down the front of Mommy's shirt, skimming Grandma in the process. A three-fer! On the up side, Daddy managed to capture the pee on the high definition video camera. It should look great on the huge tv Grandma and Grandpa have. James will appreciate that video on future milestones in his life, I'm sure.

I'm so very happy for you guys! James is enchantingly cute!
I'm sure James just wants to keep his future modeling career options open. He's not going to ruin his chances by packing on the weight too quickly. Smart kid! I like the way he thinks already!
I can't believe you have time to post your blogs between the pumping (which sounds less than fun) the feedings (again, ouch) and everything else that comes along w/ being a mommy!
I'm so excited for Thanksgiving and to meet the little man in person!
Thanks for the pics and posts, and keep them coming!
