he gained how much?!!?

so yesterday john started getting very congested and he did not sleep well at all last night. we ended up sleeping in the chair in his room so he could sleep upright and it seemed to help a little. but the poor kid had snot coming out his nose every time he ate! he was so cute ... he would eat for a few minutes then pick his head up and take a few deep breaths and start eating again cuz he couldnt breathe out his nose : )

we went to the doctors on this afternoon and thankfully his ears and lungs sounded great ... he just had a cold. but the biggest shock came when they weighed him ... he weighed 7 lbs 5.5 oz! he had gained just over 1 lb in 11 days!

derrick has mentioned the last couple of days that his face is changing - filling out more - but i dont see any of it. he looks the same to me. i remember with the girls the same thing happening - i am with them 24/7 so i dont notice it at all. im definitely not complaining one bit - i am so thankful to spend all my time with them. i cant imagine being anywhere else. life is great.
