Big man Luke

Luke had another doctor's appointment this morning. He's up to 5 pounds and 14.5 ounces!!! I couldn't be happier. He gained 11 ounces in 8 days:) We stopped giving him formula on Sunday so it's been strictly breast milk for the past 4 days, and he's stilling gaining weight. That's a huge relief because you just never know how much milk he's getting.

In other news, he had a few firsts this week. First time in the bouncy chair:

First time in the swing:First time getting a sponge bath from Mom and Dad (my mother gave him one while she was here so technically it wasn't his first sponge bath). He didn't like it, as the picture shows:First time in a store... I have no picture but my sister Pam and I took Luke to Babies R Us and Swoozies today. It was nice for me to get out into the world again. I feel a little more normal now.

First time staying up almost all night! Boy was Tuesday night a rough night. Once he finally fell asleep- after the sun came up- I snapped these pictures. He's so cute when he's sleeping. Not so much in the middle of the night when he won't sleep and you don't know why.
