2 Weeks Old



We took Alex for his two week well check.  He weighed in at 7 pounds and 1/4 oz.  We were more than thrilled.  I guess the breastfeeding thing is working pretty well.  You always worry that you are not giving your baby enough, and since my milk came in late I guess I worried more than most.  He is 20 inches and 3/4 long and his head circumference is 36.4 cm.  Which is all normal. His weight is in the 5th percentile and height is in the 75th percentile.  This appointment was funny.  We went straight back to the room because there was a sick child in the waiting room and I starting changing Alex and he decided to have projectile poop all over me and the floor. Then Dr. Price came in and he peed all over her.  She is very good natured and laughed it off.  I am sure its not the first time that has happened.  they gave me a paper that says Congratulations on the birth of your new Little Texan.  It hadn't really hit home until I read that, that Alex is Texan.AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

Our First Walk


After keeping Alex all bundled up inside for the past two weeks it was time to show him the hood. This is a picture of our first walk around our San Gabriel Heights neighbourhood. Sydney even joined us. We love the Peg Perego stroller I agonized over for two months.
