Update

Thursday, Alex went to the doctor for his 2 week check-up. He weighed 7 lb 10 oz! The doctor said I could start letting him sleep as long as he wants to at night and not worry so much about him eating every 2-3 hours. Of course, as soon as she says that, he goes from wanting to sleep 4-5 hours at night to 3 hours. I think he hit a little growth spurt because he is wanting to eat all the time.

Some of you already know that my little boy is quite a sucker. He was put on a pacifier the second day! Now, he doesn't want it anymore. He will spit it out when offered. He makes a really cute "that's gross" face before rejecting it.

He is filling out his wrinkles and is fitting into some clothes that were too big at first. His newborn diapers are getting a little tight already, too. Speaking of diapers. . . he goes through so many each day!!! I never thought a little baby could pee and poop that many times! I can't tell you how many times I have tried to change a dirty diaper, just to have him immediately potty in the new diaper-sometimes before it is even fastened. God bless those of you who bought diapers for us!
