2 Week Well Check Visit

I can't believe that our little boy is 2 1/2 weeks old...the time has flown by!! We took Paxton for his first doctors visit today. He is now 7 pounds 13 ounces (50%) for weight and 20 5/8 inches (60%) for height!! I guess he is eating well! Unfortunately he had to have his PKU test today and I actually think it was worse for me and Andy than it was for Paxton! We love our little guy and are so excited to see what the future brings for our little family!!

Here are some things that we have learned about Paxton in the past 2 1/2 weeks...
  • He loves to be wrapped up and will only eat if he is swaddled.
  • He makes alot of great facial expressions...especially when he sucks in his bottom lip or puckers up his lips.
  • He is just like his mom when it comes to waking up, it takes him a while to decide that he is ready then he has to stretch and moan and groan before he is fully awake.
  • He has his dad's feet, ears, hairline, and skin tone. He has his mom's nose. We are still in debates about his mouth, eyes, and hair (it's constantly changing).
  • He is a major cuddler...which makes his mom and dad really happy!!
  • He has great hair, it is the first thing everybody notices about him, and it spikes into a perfect little mohawk.

Those first few weeks with baby are so fun as you get to know them on the OUTSIDE instead of the inside! It sounds like you are enjoying little Paxton a ton! He really is adorable! Do you have to go back to work soon or are you taking a year off?

Lenna,
Do you think Cheri and Lillian would even think about letting me take a year off...I actually have to go back on the day that the kids start back at school so in 3 weeks...

He is such a cutie! It is so fun to pick up on the small things! Enjoy the rest of your time off.
