Zachary update

Elena has been going picture crazy! We are going to have so many baby pictures of Zachary... Here's his feet!
Zachary has been getting some sun because his bili count was in the risky zone. As of today, his bili count is well below the risky zone - hooray! The nurse credited his hungry habits and busy pooping more than the sun, but we're just glad his jaundice color is disappearing. Zachary had his first bath at home given by Mommy and Elena. Grandma took the pictures. And of course, Zachary hated it because he hates being naked - you do not want to hear this kid at diaper change time...
Since Saturday, Zachary has gained 2oz - right on schedule for gaining an ounce a day. He hasn't passed his hearing test yet, but the nurse says it's hard to get a reading because he has the tiniest ear canals (especially for a full-term baby). She thinks he most likely has fluid in his ear, so he's rescheduled for a check in 2 weeks.
Elena gave him his own Kitty Warrick to cuddle. And he's been hugging him and sucking on his tail. We can't wait to introduce him to the real Warrick!
