I know he has been properly introduced to the world and there are a few facts about him that you already know, but as he has begun to wake up and we’ve had a few days with him there’s a lot about Silas that you may not know. So this post is entirely about him.

Facts: He loves to eat SLOWLY – it takes about 30 minutes for him to complete his meal. He now weighs 9lbs 8oz. He has gained over 19oz in less than 3 weeks. He still really likes to sleep. Silas has started to wake up only 1-2 times a night! Yeah! He has outgrown his newborn clothes and is getting ready to start wearing cloth diapers (I hope I can handle all the laundry). He doesn’t mind his brother’s attention (Notice I said doesn’t mind – he doesn’t really like it but he also doesn’t dislike it – as long as he doesn’t get whacked across the face). Silas looks a lot like his brother (see below picture – its Brooks). There are a few differences between their pictures. The main one being their hair color. Silas has light brown while Brooks had dark. Silas is dairy sensitive not intolerant (thank God!) so far. We still are crossing our fingers. He screams not cries. This has turned into an amusing cry rather than one that makes my blood pressure rise.
