He started his breastfeeding yesterday. Did okay on one side, then couldn't do the other, so we bottle fed him the rest. Same thing happened this morning, and when we tried in the evening, he just was not up to it. But, hopefully he will eventually get it.
He's now officially 4 pounds!! He has a little rash on his bottom from all the pooping, so he needs some cream to help that. Also, and this is gross, when I was changing him today, he had a, uh, explosion! That's all I'm gonna say. It was pretty damn gross. He needed a new isolette, because he soiled that one! Yuck-o-rama. The nurses laughed at my reaction and said, "This won't be the last time you experience that!"
So Kavi makes all sorts of funny squeaks and sounds. He does this one where it's sort of like he's clearing his throat and grunting at the same time. What it ends up sounding like is a munchkin laughing! I'll get more video of it, but here's a short sample...it happens at the :16 second mark, so turn up the speakers and listen closely:
Here's a picture of him today. You can see that he's getting some baby fat on his face:

I recognize those sounds! Grace did 'em too.
I have 'fond' memories of Grace 'bazooka pooping' on the wall across from her changing table last year. We hiked up her legs to slide a new diaper on and while PERFECTLY positioned let out a stream/spray of loose liquidy poop that changed the walls from off-white to sticky yellow. The nurses are dead-on correct!

His face looks less wrinkly now! :)
Exploding poop, sounds like fun stuff. Matt and I went to a baby shower last weekend and part of our gift were these things called Wee-Wee Tee-Pees. They are little cone shapes things made out of soft terry cloth that are useful for changing little boys. You put the little tee-pee over the little guy's wee-wee when you are changing him so that you don't get a surprise golden shower. Genius!
