More Birkeley Photos -- Age 6 Days

Oh yes, more pictures. This are from Friday, the height of his jaundice, when he was 6 days old.

Birkeley is now 8 days old, and on Friday he got a clean bill of health from the pediatrician. His jaundice is subsiding (he's not even yellowish today), and he had gained 3 more ounces from Wednesday. That means that on Friday he was 7 pounds 4.5 ounces, only 1.5 ounces below his birth weight, in only 4 days (he has 2 weeks to get back to his birth weight).

He's such a wonderful baby. I find that I can just sit & stare at him for hours on end. He's so expressive, and I love watching all the funny faces he makes. He very much reminds me of Avery!
