2 weeks

Happy 2-week birthday to Matt! Yes, I know it's a cliche, but it seems like it has been much longer and much sooner than that day two weeks ago when we first met our son.


Matt had a good check-up at the pediatrician today, weighing in at 9 lbs. 14 oz. (He'll hit 10 pounds even by mid-week, we think.) He displayed his nice, strong set of lungs for the NP, and he impressed her with his nice, strong muscles in his arms and legs. We knew he's a strong one: we've enjoyed seeing him flex his muscles more and more every day, extending his legs and moving his arms through a greater range of motion. He has grabbed a few things, still more accidentally than purposefully at this point, and he has kicked off hands during tummy time to propel himself a few inches and then a few more. We're amazed how much he grows and changes every day!
