Still tied :)

After conferring with Dr. Dickey (yes, really), the Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor, we are taking a "wait and see" approach with Nathan's tongue-tie. The Dr. described his tie as just moderate, and he would like to wait two weeks to see if our feeding issues resolve as Nathan (and I) learn a bit more. Most importantly, he doesn't think the tie would present any speech issues without being snipped. Nate pretty much slept through the appointment, only waking to complain when his ears and tongue were examined.

Nathan continues to be a sweet, sweet baby. He is beginning to have a bit of fussy time between 6-8pm, but we are generally able to soothe him with snuggles, his binkie (pacifier) or a ride in the swing. His alert hours seem to increase every day. Nathan impressed Grammy by being awake for just about her whole visit this morning - he was up from about 9 through 1 (outside of a few short naps when snuggling with Grammy). He is sleeping in 4-5 hour stretches at night (AWESOME), and I am keeping with a 2-3 hour feeding schedule during the day.

We were able to give Nathan a real bath today as his umbilical cord fell off last night. :) He enjoyed being in the warm water, and we are enjoying a clean baby!! His hair is curly when wet, which we think is pretty darn cute. :) His dark hair seems to be lightening just a bit (the new stuff that is coming in is a lighter brown with a slight auburn tint).

Ok, our fussy man is asking for some attention...bye!
