This boy has been busy

These first three weeks have been overwhelming but wonderful. It amazes us how much he changes each day. He weighed in this week at 7 lbs. 4 oz. Doc said he gained more than expected. We have a little porker on our hands. This is what the little guy has been up to;


He has found his own thumb. My mom said this is how I used to suck my thumb, with my whole hand resting on my face.


He's a snuggle bug. We're not complaining.


Faithfully doing his neck exercises. This little guy is strong.


Trying to figure out how he got here. He's very alert and aware of his surroundings now.


His umbilical cord fell off this week. Big week! This is his first 'big boy' bath and we were so proud of him, he didn't even cry. He's a little camera shy here.


He's already learned how to give stink eye. I'm not sure where he is learning this from.

I am so glad you posted more pics! I love the shot of him trying to block himself from the camera! I would be doing the same if someone was taking a picture of me in the bath. You have a modest boy there.

Shan I didn't even realize you had the baby until a couple days ago! He is adorable!!!Isn't not being pregnant amazing? You feel like putting those skinny jeans on right when you get home... then you realize you still can only fit into maternity clothes.

Love him to pieces already! I am sad we won't meet him until summer. He looks like a pretty amazing kid.
It looks like you guys are doing great. It is such a fun/scary/enjoyable/unenjoyable/crazy/hard/wonderful/hormonal/exciting time isn't it?
