2 week appointment

Yesterday Cole had his two week appointment. He is technically about 2 1/2 weeks but who's counting?! :) When we left the hospital, his weight had dropped down to 7lbs 1oz; however, he has more than made up for it! He is now 9lbs 2oz and 21 1/8 inches long....such a big boy!! He has been eating like crazy, but we did not anticipate that he would gain almost 2 lbs in such a short time. Both his height and weight are in the 50th percentile and his head is 25%. He is still a pretty good baby and changing daily. Cameron loves to give him kisses all the time and talks to him a lot! He has become more alert these past few days and makes the funniest faces when he sleeps. He smiles quite a bit but we haven't been able to get many pics of that just yet.

Jeff is leaving today for a business trip and I'm not sure how things are going to go here! This is the first time he has left since Cole was born. I have pretty much been on baby duty since we came home and he has been running around doing everything for Cameron, making dinners, grocery shopping, etc. Now I'll be doing all those things on top of everything a newborn requires and taking and picking Cameron up from school, gymnastics & soccer practice. Guess I should get used to it.....but I'm hoping Friday comes REALLY fast! :)
