Four Weeks

Today Luke is four weeks old; at the end of the week, he'll be a full month old. I just can't get over how fast time is passing! Here are some pictures I've taken in the past week or so.

This one was on September 14, when we started swaddling Luke again for some naps during the day and definitely at night. He's sleeping a lot better now that we are swaddling him again. (Edited: I realized that I already posted a version of this picture in an earlier post, but I'll go ahead and leave it here anyway.)


Then this one was taken September 17 when we were going to go out and the weather was a little chilly that day. So we put on his A&M hoodie. Gig 'em!


The next day, September 18, Daddy and Luke were cuddled up on the couch together. I guess Sam decided he wanted in on the cuddle action!


Part of our outing on the 17th was to get some long-sleeved onesies in size 0-3 months because the newborn clothing was starting to get a little tight on Luke. On the 19th, I put him in his first size 0-3 months outfit:


Although there are a lot of cute clothes that he'll get to wear in this size, it's sad to have to give up some of the clothing he's been wearing since he came home from the hospital. Here are some of the onesies that are getting too tight that we're going to have to take out of his wardrobe very soon:


Finally, today was his checkup with the doctor. He did beautifully; the doctor kept using the word "perfect" so it sounds like all is going well. At his last visit two weeks ago, he weighed in at 6 pounds 12.5 ounces. Today, two weeks later, he is now 8 pounds 2 ounces. He also grew about 3/4" in length (he's now 20.25"). So there's the proof that he's definitely getting out of the newborn size clothing. Part of me is sad to see him growing and not being the tiny baby that he was when he was born, but the other part of me is proud of him for growing so well and excited about seeing how he'll develop over the next four weeks.
