Our poor little Dalton developed a goopy eye over the past day or two so Jenn and I (being Hypochondriac parents we are) decided to call the Doctor's office just to see if there was anything we could do to alleviate the greenish yellow discharge. The nurse who we spoke to said the eye goop can sometimes be an early warning sign of an ear infections and we should bring the little man in for an evaluation. There was an opening in their schedule in 45 mins so Jenn and I grabbed the diaper bag, got Dalton all bundled up and were promptly on our way.

He has a virtually insatiable appetite and it really showed on the scale! When the nurse weighed Dalton, Jenn and I were both taken back by his increase. Our little chunk was now tipping the scales at 9lb 5oz!! That's an increase of over 10% in less than 3 weeks and 11oz in the past week and a half! I gave Jenn a high 5 for a job well done! Our baby loves milk!
More good news was delivered when Dr. Peach determined that the cause of the eye gunk was likely due to a blocked tear duct (very common in new born children) and there was nothing to worry about. Simply massage the corner of his eye socket near his nose and wipe away the goop with a warm, damp wash cloth.
Happy that Dalton was just fine and a bit proud of the progress he made in the weight department, Jenn and I headed home to relax a bit, feed Dalton and get ready for Christmas Eve dinner at Jenn's aunt and uncle's house.
Beef Caaaake!!! Dalton with his first dumbbell (rattle)! Notice the sock on the hand! LOL, his little mittens were in the wash and he likes to grab his face!
Jenn and Dalton with his "cookie monster" outfit! It's a size 3M-6M but at the rate he is growing he'll be in it soon! (Thanks Auntie Sarah and Uncle Derrick!)
Showing off his pecs! (And cheeks!) So beautiful!
Yes, he really is this cute!!! Like the faux-hawk? If he hasn't stolen your heart yet you must not have one!
All bundled up and ready to go!!
Mommy and DaddyAfter a long, but fun, night of eating way too much (Jenn and I, Dalton was still hungry!), visiting and playing Pictionary it was time to head back home and put our baby to sleep.
It wouldn't be Christmas Eve without a reading of the pop-up version of `The Night Before Christmas.`
