6 week doctor visit...Jordan is still tiny

Jordan is still tiny....and he sleeps a LOT...

But, sometimes he knows when Mama is taking a photo and he takes a peek

On August 4th, Jordan was 21 inches (15th percentile) and he weighed 7 lbs, 6 oz....the pediatrician wasn't worried, but Mama was. Jordan is supposed to gain 1 oz per day and he only gained 5.5 oz in 13 days. He is now less than 5% for weight. So, Mama was ordered to go see the LC (Lactation Consultant) and come back for another report card 3 days later. In 3 days, Jordan gained 5.5 oz!! The same amount he had gained in 13 days before. So, he is now 7 lbs, 11.5 oz. Doesn't he look like he has some chunk on his legs?
But, compared to Mama's hands, he is still TINY.
Next visit: 2 months of age in 2 weeks
