I am 3 weeks old now.  I surprised my parents today after weighing 9 pounds 10 ounces.  Not to be alarmed, I am not over-weight or anything… here it is the scoop, I lost 7% of my birth weight before I left the hospital.  By week 2, I was supposed to go back to my birth weight but I was 4 ounces short J so I decided to gain 1 pound in a week.  Now I am healthier and my cheeks and smile show it.  After spending two weeks with us my dad went back to work, it was funny cause I kept him up all night and when he got back from work he slept on the couch for two hours.  My tita comes and visits me and every day she is very cool.  My uncle Oskar came to visit me.    Finally I hit a milestone, my belly button fell off this week.  I’m getting bigger and bigger.

Someone said I look like pooh. What do you think?

So it’s my first week and a half in the outside world. I was born on Wednesday March 28th, 2007 at 3:38 p.m. in Tracy, CA. I measured 20.5 inches and weighed in at 8 lbs 15.4 oz. One more oz and the nurse said she would have rounded up to 9 lbs. My grandparents took a ton of photos that first day you can see them at http://www.diegodelacruz.com/photos/ .First few days I spent it in the hospital which was kinda cool, expect after a while it got kinda boring because I only had four walls to look at. My parents agreed with me and checked out of the hospital Saturday afternoon.
All in all I think I’m pretty much like a normal baby. I eat, sleep, and poop. My parents and grand parents ooh and ahh over me. When they do that I open one eye check them out, then fall back asleep. Well it’s time for me to get back to sleep.
