the cutest little guy made his arrival on his due date, 5.23. prompt, like his dad.
8 pounds 1 oz. 21.75 inches long. tall and skinny, like his dad.
at his two week appt he gained weight like a champ. he was up to 9 pounds and 6 oz. weight went strait to his face, just like his dad.
he is all dad. however, if you look at our baby photos. he is all mom :)
stats @ 2 weeks:
weight: 9.6 lbs 80%
length: 21.75 in 93%
head: 38 cm 96%
he is perfect. i know, i know, all moms say that, but i can't help myself. he is better than your baby. just kidding. but really, i think he is super advanced. i swear he laughed at me this morning and it wasn't gas. and that is enough of that, i am not going to be one of those parents who brags about her kid all the time...at least not to your face, walker and i will save that for dinner. every single night.
walker knows nothing about babies. he is doing a great job, however his questions and statements worry me/drive me crazy - i actually pretend i can't hear him. it's like 20 questions everyday. por ejemplo:
"we should let him cry it out..."
on day three, "can i take him to the office and show him off?"
"how far can he see? can he see colors? do you think he knows who i am?"
"when will he hold his head up, crawl, walk, talk, sit, stand, jump..."
"i wish i could breastfeed because i feel like he loves you more"
in the same conversation "when can i feed him chili?"
"i think it is unnatural that he is in a diaper 24/7, i am going to sit him naked on the couch for a while to air out his butt.."
hmmmmm.
here are a few first week pictures iphone pictures:
oh! i was a mom and an aunt in the same week! Jaxon James Lofton arrived on 5/20. cousins, three days apart. so sweet... i love him. i can't wait to meet him and watch boone and jax arm wrestle.
