Connor is doing great. He's eating like an ox (and would probably eat the ox, too, if I gave that to him). His 2 week doctor visit was yesterday (Thursday) and we discovered our little kiddo has already gained a pound and a half since we left the hospital (he was born 9 lbs 2 oz, he left 2 days later at 8 lbs. 8 oz. and is now 10 lbs. 1 oz.)!! So he's certainly not wanting for food...
He is getting bigger everyday and he is such a good baby. He sleeps and eats in roughly 3 hour intervals (like when I was pregnant with him!), sometimes a little longer now that he's getting bigger, and he is so happy and smiles a ton. He is more alert and he can already hold his head up really well. We love our little guy so much and it's been so fun watching him grow over this last little while. We are so excited to see what the days, weeks, and years ahead will bring!
Here are Connor's stats from his 2 week doctor visit:
Weight: 10 lbs. 1 oz. (90th percentile)
Length: 22 inches (90th percentile)
Head: 37.5 cm (75th percentile)
Length: 22 inches (90th percentile)
Head: 37.5 cm (75th percentile)
And a few pictures from the second week:
Snuggling with Grandma Jeppson
Saying goodbye to Grandpa Jeppson on Sunday (Grandma Jeppson stayed until the following Sunday).
He is too cute when he sleeps!
Visitors!! So nice to see someone from the outside world after being cooped inside for 2 weeks!
I went in to check on him during a nap and he was wide awake just hangin' out in his bed! Not even a peep!
Play time with Grandma.
Hangin' with dad.
Again, too cute when he sleeps!
This is how he falls asleep after I feed him - with his little arms tucked under his chin. Love it.
First time using his baby bath. We're not too sure about it at first, but he quickly warmed up to it.
"Hey, hey ladies, join me in the hot tub? Fist bump."
Fantastic mowhawk and a great picture that shows how much he looks like his daddy!!
We just love our little boy!!

He's absolutely precious
Okay, I know I already said it, but he is so handsome!
Fist bumping already...he's so advanced.
Wow! Connor's experience in the tub was WAY different than Addie's! She SCREAMED the entire time- no pictures were even possible. Can't believe how much he gained already!! Did he lose his baby weight at all?? Thats good though, means your milk's good :)
Oh my gosh, he's so cute! Congrats again you guys!
Congratulations you two! We spoke with your Mom so we knew things were a little complicated at first, but it seems like all is well now! He's absolutely darling--sort of makes me baby hungry (for grandchildren of course!). We are so happy for you--can't wait to meet him in person!
dan - he really is ADORABLE. like a super cute baby.
hope you're doing well.
xoxo
