I realized I forgot to mention something last week- Evan's ears. I had forgotten how newborns ears are very squishy and don't have hardened cartilage yet. Already, his little ears have firmed up enough to stop being affected by my arm or a blanket he's laying on. For the first few days though, his ears would get misshapen when he was laying on one for too long. I think that's so sweet. It's crazy how quickly those little newborn nuances pass... I already miss his squishy ears! :)
Here's what Evan has been up to this past week:
- Dealing with lots of camera flashes. Jillian has decided she's "kinda a photographer" and likes to direct Evan and I for mini-photoshoots. It's adorable and to be honest, the best way for me to get documented by a few minutes on the other side of the camera so I don't mind at all! Look for some of her shots in the photos from this week. (aka, anything I'm in) -smile- Also, look for Evan posing in a Tonka truck. Cute! He's asleep on the job I'm afraid...
- Sleeping, Eating, Pooping... all the newborn standards :) He sleeps like a champ so far. At least 3 hours at night time between feedings and so far goes happily back to sleep once he is fed. He has gone a couple of four hour stretches too... awesome!
- Have I mentioned how much he likes to be swaddled? SWADDLE ME!!! That's the only thing he needs anytime he is fussy. It's a pretty easy thing to do, so I'm more than happy to oblige!
- His 2 Week check up today: 22 inches long, 37cm head, 8lbs, 11oz
- He is super sweet, loves to cuddle and has his eyes open so much more now!
- His neck is already getting so much stronger- there's a pic of Evan and Jillian this week where he looks like he is practically sitting up!
That's it for this week!

Evan is a beautiful baby. Thank you for getting the post done last night, the photo's are fun and seeing that Jillian is a budding photographer is particularly thrilling. Great job!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for a non-virtual visit!

ReplyDeleteDylan also LOVED being swaddeled. I highly recommed the muslin adien anis blankets if you don't already have them. I probably swaddeled Dylan for 8 weeks and then his legs for even longer. We also found an awesome was to swaddle that was harder for him to break out of.
what a sweet little face. So great Jillian's into snapping the pics!
