Our Growing Boy

We took David for his 2 week checkup last Tues (Oct 23). He gained 2lbs in the 2 weeks since we've been home! Not a huge shock, given he'd been eating about every 2hrs (about 12 times a day) and producing 10 or so 'dirty' diapers a day (not including the numerous 'open air' accidents :)). Our boy is a big eater! He also grew a big longer, measuring in at 21.75in. At 8lbs 14oz, that puts him at 75th percentile for height and 50th for weight. His head grew a little as well; he's 25th percentile for head size (so much for those ultrasound techs scaring me saying my baby had a big head!). 

Here's a pic of us doing what we do best - hanging in the nursery eating!


And here are a few shots of our big guy just hanging out. Most are just after eating - David's pretty content when he's full, and he makes a million different faces in the span of a couple minutes - definitely one of my favorite times with my boy:





David had lots of adventures during his first 2 weeks home. He had his first sponge bath: 


He went for a walk around the neighborhood with mommy:


And when we mastered that, we added Franklin to the mix!


He went to the mall with me and mom-mom:


And to work to visit daddy, and see mommy's friends (here he is outside of our office's cafe, "Spoon"):


We also had a fantastic day celebrating daddy's 32nd birthday (Wed, 10/24). Josh took the day off of work and we went to Ft Washington State park to enjoy the gorgeous fall weather. We started with a picnic, then went for a nice stroll through the park. Here's a shot of the family :)


David decided he'd sport some Pats gear in honor of daddy's birthday. Then daddy decided to dress to match his boy. I love my boys :) 


I forgot to dress Franklin in a Pats bandana though! Next year... 

Here are a couple more shots doing what they do best - my boys hanging on the couch after daddy gets home from work: 


And that about sums up our first 2.5wks at home :)
