Yes, yes we did our best to reign in the Mexican holiday as only proud new parents could. In the past, we might have found ourselves celebrating the day on the porch of some mexican restaurant, drowning in a pitcher of margaritas and virtually drinking the white cheese dip from the bowl. But unfortunately we are not at the point where we can take our newborn child into that kind of raucous atmosphere (few more weeks).
So we did our best to celebrate mexican heritage (it's not mexican independence day - that falls on Sept 16 - thank you wikipedia) by donning sombreros we found in the garage and playing some latin music as we cooked up a mexican feast. We even let Charlie in on the action by squeezing a little lime on Katie's nipple shield before she breastfed.
Charlie had his two week check up today with Dr. Long, and he is now a robust 10 pounds! He is a growing boy no doubt and he LOVES to eat. He still does not interact very much, although when he isn't nursing or sleeping he is quite a pleasant child. He just kind of looks around as if he is still trying to figure out what happened to that nice dark warm home he used to live in.
Katie is doing great and is really got this mom thing down! It is amazing how the weight just melts away when you breastfeed - it is hard to imagine that she had a medicine ball in her belly just two weeks ago.
Grandma and Grandpa Veit get to meet Charlie this weekend! We are all very excited and might even bring Charlie to the airport so he can meet them as soon as possible. We will have more pictures of this weekend up ASAP.
Speaking of pictures, ol' Dad (yours truly) got a little fancy with the camera this weekend and learned that a photographers best friend is a mini-tripod. See the new pictures here:
