2 Weeks Old

James, you are two weeks old and had your second check up with Dr. Terry.  The first appointment, just a few days after you were born, you had regained the 6oz lost at the hospital and were back up to 7lbs 8oz. You were down slightly in height (20 inches) due the little "cone head".  Grammy and Daddy said they could see you growing by the minute, but it was hard for me to see.  Low and behold, they were right, you weighted in at 8lbs 11oz and 21 inches! We were amazed.  Dr. Terry said you were the winner for the day for most weight gained! Ha.  "Mommy must be making cream instead of milk,"  she said.

You are such a funny little man, who loves to look around and participate in the adult's conversation. In the doctor's office you were very vocal while we were talking about you...you wanted to make sure YOUR voice was heard as well. The Dr. thought you said "HI" really loud. First words?!

You are not much of a napper. You sleep about 6 or so hours during the day and then are up for most of the evening.  You are always so tired by around 6pm, but refused to shut those pretty blue eyes. You sure know how to wear mommy out!  However, you have been (so far) a great night sleeper.  Two nights now you have went 5-5.5 hours straight! Go James!

James, we are enjoying you so much and look forward, each day, to your new discoveries. You're our little miracle and never cease to amaze us.
