Sorry about the rick rolling. I couldn't resist!
So we went to the pediatrician yesterday and he said Kavi looks good, and we should start treating him like a newborn. So we did, and all day yesterday he did great. And then, when the clock hit midnight, he turned crazy. There was basically grunting (no sleeping), spitting up loads, crying and wailing inconsolably, and constant squirming. But this morning, he's fine.
He weighs 5 pounds 6 ounces! We rented a newborn scale, and we ended up reading it wrong and were concerned. When we weighed him, the scale read 5.06, which we thought it was 5 pounds and .06 of an ounce! But that's not the case at all. There's the extra zero space before the 6 because when he gets to double digits in the ounces, like say, 5.11, being 5 lbs, 11 oz. Doh! Felt kinda dumb after making that mistake! Here we were thinking he wasn't gaining anything, and in turns out, he's been gaining quite a lot!
This is quite the family visiting weekend! Yesterday and today, Nisha's mother came to visit, tomorrow during the day, Nisha's oldest sister will come to visit, and tomorrow night, my sister will come to visit for a few days!
Our friend Asmita is letting us borrow her Diaper Genie. We have to figure out how to use it, but once we do, it will be very useful. His diapers are getting more stinky! Sorry, I'm sure you didn't care to know about that.
Oh, and big thanks to our friends/students Debbie and Julie for throwing us a baby shower! It was really sweet, nice, and really thoughtful of them.
Here's a video of him making faces!

Diaper pails of one sort or another are worth their weight in poop!
huh huh...
Are those not bruce lee faces? The only lee movie i know well is fists of fury and I thought I saw some similarities... Diaper Genies are great but the inside can get smelly so lysol it often. Here's how ours worked: The roll of bag material is actually a big tube of plastic. Operation: Start by pulling out some plastic and tying it off to make a bag. Push bag down in DG from top. Insert dirty diaper and turn ring to twist bag material (sometimes this requires either waiting for a couple more diapers since he's small or making sure the first diaper is on the bottom of the pail otherwise you'll just spin the dirty diaper and not twist the bag. You'll see what I mean. Insert next dirty diaper and turn the ring to twist the bag material again. You'll know when the DG is full, trust me... To empty, pull out some extra bag material and cut it(there should be a built in blade or cutter) tie off cut bag material. When you open the DG, you should see what looks like a long line of cartoon like diaper sausages all linked together. It's gross...
