First Doctor Appointment

Today was Noah's first doctor's appointment. It was his 2 week well baby check up. The first thing they did was his weight and length. He weighed in at 5 pounds 6 ounces and measured 18 1/2 inches long. In 13 days he gained 1 pound and 2 ounces, which averages to 1.4 ounces weight gained a day! We hope that he stays on this path so that he will catch up quickly. He eats well and is on a good schedule. Thomas and I are handling the nighttime wake up calls pretty good. We make sure to take turns taking care of Noah so at least one of us is functional during the day. We are having a lot of fun being parents and are learning to adjust to our new roles.

Noah, also had his first bath and he seemed to enjoy it. He just laid in the bath quietly and looked at the two of us.





I also had to share this picture of Noah's mohawk. He has the craziest hair, so we are finding ways to embrace it=)

I'm so happy he's doing so well! You are good parents. The "mohawk" is great--he looks like a baby rock star!

I love you all,
