November 15!!!

Today is Eric's original due date! And I have to point out that it's also his Aunt Ally's BIRTHDAY!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALLY!!!!! It would have been so much fun having him share the same special day, however, the Bruno family and the 15th go together! So I'm glad it's a relationship we didn't interfere with!

When looking at how far he has come in the past two weeks, it's pretty crazy to think he wasn't supposed to be born until today!

-On November 11th Eric officially lost his umbilical cord and now has his very own belly button!!!
-On November 13th we had his follow up Dr. appointment. Thankfully everything checked out to be perfect! His weight dropped just a bit from birth, but not enough for them to be concerned. He was born weighing 7 lbs 4 oz and now weights 6 lbs 14 oz. Because of this we are keeping him on formula (on top of breastfeeding) just to be sure he keeps up with his calories. (Wish Mommy had to eat chocolate to keep up with her calories)
-He still has a very wobbly head, but during his burping sessions/belly time, it's amazing how much more neck control he has from just last week!
-He pushes off with his feet a bunch now!
-He still makes us laugh at his every move!

I cannot tell you how excited Aaron and I get whenever we see a new post from you. Thank you so much for keeping up on your blog. My first reaction was "how the heck did she upload a 3 min. video". (It takes me forever to upload a 30 sec. video) but I'm so glad you did because I could watch it over and over 100x's!

OMG he is so so so so so so so cute! We love him so much! I say we because of course Taryn in sitting on my lap watching the video! :) He is a perfect addition to your family. SO much that he does reminds me of you two! And thanks for the birthday wish!
