So 2 years ago at 3:14pm, Tristan was born weighing 8lbs 14oz and was 20.5in long. His shoulder got stuck when he was in the birth canal which prolonged my labor and involved more pain (joy... not!). He wouldn't nurse for the first 23 hours after he was born, he just couldn't latch on so I pumped and fed him breast milk from a medicine dropper at each meal (to avoid him depending on bottles). Then at 24hours after he was born, right when I was about to give up on nursing, he nursed (only on the right side which continued the whole first month). He was a very quiet baby and slept most of the night (the nurses actually woke me up every 3hrs to feed him). He got to go home on January 1st, 2010. He fit in newborn and preemie clothes for the first 2 months (shocker!) though he still wore 0-3 months since I lacked in the other sizes. He was 2 weeks old when he had his first ear infection. Here is him right after they cleaned him up after he was born:

We decided to skip a big party. We had the small celebration at Christmas eve dinner where all we did was sing to him and bring out a cake. Then today, he opened his gift from me and Chris and his gift from my grandma, then we went to Big Boy's for dinner with grandma and grandpa and he had grilled cheese, french fries, and apple sauce. Then he opened his gift from his grandparents and ate some cake.
