The first weeks - part II

During J's second week at home he got to meet Moemoe and Grandpa. Moemoe got lots of snuggles with baby J, and we're so glad they got to come out and meet their first grandson!

On day 12, after sleeping no more than 30-45 minutes in his crib, our sweet boy slept for almost two hours in his crib. It was such a relief to know that he would sleep in his room in time! He also increased his time between feedings, much to the pleasure of his mom!

At his two week appointment we learned that baby J gained a pound in just one week. Average weight gain is half and ounce to an ounce a day, which he far exceeded. I've heard chubby babies referred to as Michelin babies - I think we're on our way to having a Michelin baby!

Thus far we have several nicknames for J - Snugglebug, Smushy Face, and Fussy Pants. Or more formally, Mr. Smushy Face Snugglebug Fussy Pants. 

Tummy time with Daddy. 

Our first walk in the neighborhood,
and one of our first outings since coming home from the hospital. 

This happened. Dad is more traumatized about it than baby J. 

J met Auntie Stephanie on her way through town.

At the end of the week we had to say goodbye to the grandparents, which everyone was sad about. We are so blessed with loving families on both sides!
