Dear Austin,

I can’t believe how fast you are growing, this week you gained a WHOLE POUND!  Mommy even keeps worrying that you are gaining too much weight now, but the nurse said you are right on track.  In terms of feedings, things are getting better daily.  Mommy is producing more milk each day which means we get to supplement with less formula each day as well.  Once or twice a day your Grandma or your Daddy will even bottle feed you!  We recently bought the Dr. Brown bottles hoping that it will help reduce the amount of air you gulp, but you still seem to be gulping a ton and then getting frustrated because you need to burp before being able to drink more.  I realized that when you are calmer and drink more slowly, you don’t seem to have that issue though, and hopefully you’ll realize that soon too!

This week Aunt Rena and Uncle Alex came to visit you and you only had a minor meltdown in front of them.  We’ve started to do some more tummy time with you which you actually don’t mind!  But I’m sad to say that this was the last full week with Grandma (your Lao Lao) in town and I know you will both miss each other dearly until she comes back in March.  You just love cuddling with her in her arms.  However, next week you will finally get to meet your other set of Grandparents (Ah Ma and Ah Gong)!  Until then… be good!  🙂

Love,
Mommy
