2 Weeks Old

Well, my baby boy is growing up. I can't believe Tyler is actually 2 weeks old today! Time certainly flies when your having fun!!! I never thought there could be joy in my life like there has been for the past 14 days, but my little Mr. keeps me smiling and my heart filled with pride and happiness all day everyday. I can't imagine life without him.  Of course my pride just soars a bit higher when each of us had doctor appointments today and every single nurse and doctor stopped me to tell me how handsome and perfect Tyler is (as though I don't already know).                               Tyler and I started the day off at my doctor appointment where all went well. I have officially been released not to go back until July, which will simply be a regular checkup. After feeding him in the abandoned parking lot of the movie theatre, we made a quick stop at Service King (my old job) to say hi and meet everybody.  Finally, we went to Tyler's doctor appointment. I absolutely LOVE his doctor, and today was our first visit to the San Marcos office---
Very nice! I loved that they have a separate waiting room for newborns to ensure they are not with any of the sick children there in the waiting room.                                                      Today Tyler weighed in at 8 lbs. 7 oz. Dr. Grady said that this was exactly on track with where he needs to be. He is supposed to gain an average of an ounce a day and Tyler has gained 9 ounces in 9 days - doesn't get any better than that! He is still 20 1/2 inches long and all vision, hearing, and reflexes are completely in line with where they are supposed to be. Tyler was so well behaved during the entire visit that the nurse and Dr. Grady both commented on his lack of
"fussiness." Actually, the only time he even made a sound was when he had to be undressed (even his diaper), and then when being dressed after we were all done. I couldn't believe he didn't even blink an eye at the heel prick for the blood screening! My strong little boy has no fear at 2 weeks. I know I have said it so many times, but I couldn't have hand picked a better baby! My precious angel was hand picked by God and therefore couldn't be more perfect!!!
