Week 2...going great!

Parenthood has been very exciting so far! This week Christian had to go back to work so, it has just been me and Evan during the day! Staying home can be kind of lonely. On Monday we had a doctor's appt...it went well :) He was still in the 5 pound range, but he has been eating a ton so Christian and I are hoping that when he goes to get weighed on Monday he is 6 pounds! He is on the growth chart though! 5th percentile!!! :) He's a little guy...but he will catch up!

On Tuesday I had to go by school and show my sub a few things, so my grandparents babysat! They must have done a great job entertaining him, because he was quite tuckered out after their visit!!! (Thanks for this cute outfit, Susan!!!)
On Wednesday, Mckinleigh came over for the day and hung out with us! Don't worry, Mckinleigh, he peed ALL over me this morning...HAHAHAHA!

This was taken right after his bath...check out that crazy curly hair!!!!
He loves being in his new swing (THANKS ANGELA)!!!!!
Even though it can be a little lonely, and lord knows there is NOTHING on TV, I have really enjoyed being home with him this week...he is just so fun to watch! His crazy faces, of which I need to catch on video, and when we smiles in his sleep is adorable! He is also very snuggley. Christian and I have also noticed some things that tend to make him irritable: being hungry, the hiccups, and getting his clothes changed! :)

One thing I can't figure out...HOW DO I GET HIM TO STOP WETTING THROUGH HIS CLOTHES?????!!!!! He goes through about 3 outfits a day! Because he is so tiny we have to fold over the premie diapers, so I am thinking I am not getting a great seal...but I have no idea how to solve that problem until the umbillical cord falls off! :)

Natalie,

Congratulations on baby Evan. We emailed you at your other address, but maybe now that you are a mommy you don't get time to check it. It is too funny that Evan peed on you. I am going to have to give him a high five when I see him. I love this bloggy thing, because I can keep up with things that you do. I miss you.

Love, Meredith
