Ty will be 4 weeks tomorrow morning and he has leaped from a “normal” 50th percentile birth weight (7lbs 12ozs) to a staggering 97th percentile (just over 12 lbs). He has been feeding every 3 hours and at night he usually has one 4-5 hour stretch from ~1am – 6am. And he only feeds for about 15 minutes. The only reasoning I can think of is that Ty’s metabolism is super-duper slow…or Micah is sneaking him cookies when I’m not looking. Either way, he is morphing into a “ball of flesh” as Israel likes to call it. We’ll see if their doctor will put Ty on the night-time starvation diet like she did for Micah.
Here are pictures from today of Micah holding Ty.
Happy 4th Sabbath, Ty! And a blessed Sabbath to all of you!
