Leith hasn't put on even one gram in a week. He's only ten grams heavier than his birth weight and he's six weeks old now. We've started adding formula to his diet as well as breast milk. I give him the breast, then I give him some expressed milk, then I give him some formula. Takes somewhere between an hour and two hours but I'm not complaining (bit of a lie, lol). But the point is, I really, really, really want him to put on weight and I don't mind if formula is the only way to do it anymore. He's looking pretty skinny. I want nice chubby cheeks! However he's growing in length and he's really developing his brain, too. Beautiful! He smiles all the time... TOday he even looked in the mirror and was smiling at himself, but I doubt he knew who the baby in the mirror was :P
ANYWAY! Here are some random photos of Leith and his beautiful little cousins.
