2 week stats

Guess who's officially a chunk?

This guy!!!

We just got back from the pediatrician's office for Lucas's 2 week checkup, and he proved to us that his speed-nursing is getting the job done.

He measured in at 10lbs 1 oz. putting him in the 95th percentile for weight, and 90th percentile for head circumference at 38.5cm. Big boy!

In other bragging news, he is super strong already. I promise you that he was lifting his head at the first pediatricians appointment, at 3 days old. That's the honest truth! We have pictures to prove it, because that is not normal for a newborn. He showed off again today and lifted his head and chest when he was on his tummy, which he has been doing now for a week.

Other random facts about our little (big) guy:

*He has long outgrown size newborn diapers. We had to upgrade to a size one when he was about 5 days old after going through multiple outfits a day. Newborns just weren't cutting it.

*He loves tummy time

*I mentioned speed-nursing...10 minutes? Done. What a blessing!

*He hates being naked, especially when it comes to bath time. And by hate, I mean HATE. He gets that lip-quivering cry which is so pitiful, but so adorable we can't help but laugh every time.

*I am surprised he hasn't peed on more things. We have been lucky to avoid sprays during diaper changes (am I jinxing us right now?) minus one incident when Brandon was changing him in the pack-and-play and he peed on the subwoofer. Oops.

*He continues to be SO alert. When he is awake, he is looking around and taking in the world. It's so fun. He stares so intently at our faces and out the window, you can see his little wheels turning.

*Lexi is very protective of him. She acts pretty concerned when he cries, wanting to go up to him and sniff him to make sure he is okay. She also gives him tiny little kisses when we let her, and she likes to be next to him. It's pretty cute, as evidenced by the pictures below.

*He can burp and toot with the best of any grown man. I think he might get that from the Shirley side of my family.....

*His hair still is naturally growing in a mohawk. Rock star.

We continue to be amazed at how quickly he is changing. It's fun to see him developing and growing, but I still tell him not to grow up too fast. I try my hardest to savor every sweet moment, I don't want it to go by too quickly.
