Second Week

Little One went to his dr appointment for his 2 week check up. He's a whoppin 9 lbs. 7 oz. and 22 inches. He's growing fast, and has the chin to prove it :)
 
Highlights from his 2nd week:
*He lost his cord! 
*He's starting to smile. I thought I was just an excited Momma, but one morning, my mom said "Ok, that was a smile." and then I knew. Out of the 3 kids, he's smiled the soonest. I hope this means he will be a pleasant and happy kid.
*He also will coo once or twice a day, right after he smiles at you.
*With his smiles, he makes great eye contact. 
*He also has really good neck control and likes to show us how strong he is. We aren't the best at doing tummy time, but try to get it in a few times a week.
 

one of the few cross-eyed pictures I have. And he doesn't even do this now that he's older.
 
 
This picture below is really bad quality because it's from my phone (which is really old, not a smart phone, and sat in the sink for a few hours soaking with the dishes). But it's the only picture I took while my mom was here. She was amazing help with all the kids, and me, and the house, and I miss her. She is talking with Little One in this picture and he smiled at her right after I snapped this picture. It's sad to me this time around, that my baby won't be living close to his grandparents. They grow so fast and I know grandparents LOVE being with them. Both my older kids love their grandparents and enjoy having that relationship.

First Week

When Little One was born, he got jaundice a few days later. We had to take him to a lab and prick his heel a few times to check his bilirubin count. He also was born with a large hematoma on his head-which looks like a very large goose egg. As the hematoma goes away it causes more jaundice. So, the dr said we could put him in sunlight. They don't know if this really helps with jaundice anymore, but he said it doesn't hurt. So we did that a few times. I took these photos after one of his sunbathing sessions.
 

I'm a fan of crying pictures

He was smirking in his sleep, and I was able to catch it on camera



This picture below was taken on his week birthday. He was having a sad day, and finally had fallen asleep in the boppy. I thought he looked so peaceful.
