An Outie!

Marking a major milestone - Ben lost his umbilical cord this morning! Hubby was holding him in bed after a feeding, I looked over and his little belly button was staring back at me (an outie). Sure enough, the little dried up cord was wrapped up in his swaddle blanket.

I find myself thrilled (we can take baths now), proud (he is growing up), and a little sad too. He is already outgrowing some of his newborn clothes. It is going by so fast already!

But with it also comes fun advancements - he is following colorful objects with his eyes and even turns his head to track them. He lays in his playgym and focuses on the dangling toys. And looks at pictures when we are reading.

Tomorrow we have our two week peds appointment where we'll confirm he is putting on weight and that all else is going well.
