Any guesses for how much David weighs?

A short and sweet update - I took David to the Early Childhood Centre to be weighed today. Again, lightly clothed, he weighs 6.65kgs. This is an increase of 500gms from his weight of 6.1kgs on 10 January. Well done, David!

I also forgot to put in the last few blogs just how many noises David is making. Well, over the last few days he is now having little "chats" with both of us, generally during a break in his feed or after a feed. David makes full eye contact and then warbles away, quite softly for a couple of minutes. It really sounds like his own language, and he is telling us a lot. Today he has mastered the rolled RRRR (or purring like a cat, I am not sure which), but I was very excited and he was most pleased with himself. It also involves lots of bubbles and drool.

He is feeding well and often, and greatly enjoyed the cooler weather in Sydney today - the (massive) temperature range was from 20C minimum to 23C maximum. David slept very well after his bottle of formula - from around 9.00pm to 1.30am. After that feed, David slept again until 8.00am. As a result, I was able to express some milk at 6.00am, which I gave him tonight as a top up. I am hoping that he will also sleep well tonight.

Well, that's all for now, folks!
