Two weeks old to seven weeks old

(2-16-13) Here I am at 3 weeks old.  This outfit was my mommy's favorite.  It took awhile before I could fit the outfit and then I grew out of it so fast that Mom couldn't believe it. 

(2-18-13) Still three weeks old.  Mom tried to get me to take a pacifier.  Nope...didn't like it.  I  got smart and started just holding it in my mouth until Mom let go and then I'd spit it out...patooeee!

(2-20-13) Four weeks old and wanting to hold my head up on my own.  But those neck muscles were still developing and so I often dropped my head onto Mom or Dad's shoulder.  Sometimes I even hurt myself when doing that but over time my neck muscles got stronger and stronger.

Dad has a magical touch...he pats me on the back and I fall asleep.  This doesn't work for Mom but it does with Dad.  Look, in this photo I still have all my hair and haven't yet rubbed it off in the back.(2-24-13...4 weeks old)

(2-27-13)  Yep, still have my very solemn face with my serious big eyes...but I am now five weeks old. 

(2-7-13) So this picture is out of the order but here I am at two weeks old.  I began to be really cranky during this time in my life and it wasn't until a couple weeks later that Mom figured it out...I was hungry.  Mom wasn't producing a lot of milk and so I was very sad and hungry.  

(2-8-13)  This is the other photo that is out of order.  Again, here I am at two weeks old.  Grandma S. came to visit and is holding me.  I cried so much during this time that Mom, Dad and Grandma took turns holding me, trying to help me not be so cranky.  I didn't sleep very much during the daytime but only woke up once or twice each night.

(3-16-13)  Look at what seven weeks can do to a very skinny boy that gets to nurse and take a bottle.  I started putting some meat on my bones...and began sleeping a little better during the daytime.  Now when Mom and Dad put me in the bath I didn't start crying. I wasn't yet enjoying the whole experience but I was just getting used to the feel of water on my body.

(3-16-13)  All clean and happy at seven weeks old.  My face is beginning to look round and a little fuller.  

(3-2-13) Another photo out of chronological order...but here I am at five weeks old.  I am alert and happy to be with such loving parents.  They can't seem to get enough of me and always are taking photos and kissing me.  I guess they are excited that I came to their family.

(3-6-13) Six weeks old and wearing mittens because I sometimes scratch my face.  Mom would at times, lay me down on this blanket and put me on the floor while she did work at the computer. She liked to have me near her at all times. 

(3-9-13) Six weeks old and enjoying one of my favorite spots...laying my head on Daddy's shoulder.   Mom thinks we are her two favorite guys in the world and she'd be right, we are.
