Two Weeks!

Ethan is two weeks old today!  He had another doctor's appointment this morning and we learned that he now weighs 8 lb 12 oz so he has gained almost a pound since his last visit and is now past his birth weight.  I knew he was a vigorous eater!  He is still 22 inches long (which is in the 90th percentile for now, so I think we are going to have a tall little boy).  He already looks so different from when he was born (his legs are starting to get a little pudgy, which is particularly noticeable when we try to change his diapers and his face is definitely filling out)!  He is definitely the apple of our eyes!

Some milestones from his second week are:

• First time being baby-sat (by his Grandma Wade) for a couple hours while Cayne and I ran some errands.

About to be left at home without mommy or daddy for the first time!

• Sometimes letting mommy and daddy sleep for 4 - 4.5 hours at night.
• His favorite "game" is poking his tongue out at you (if you poke your tongue at him).
• He is not sure he likes his pacifier when you try to give it to him, but sometimes he will take it.

• He gained an average of about 2 ounces a day over the past couple of weeks.

• He does not like the "vibrate" feature on any of his toys (bouncy seat, newborn napper, portable sleeper).
• He is more alert for a longer amount of time every day.
