Two weeks old!

Zander is adjusting to life pretty well so far! (knock on wood) He had his two week checkup yesterday and he his tipping the scale at 8 lbs 5 ozs. His cone head has gone down so he is 20.5 inches tall. The doctor assured me he didn't shrink, so that's good. And the problem with his left arm - erb palsy is getting better. I may not have mentioned this but his nerves on his left side were stretched during delivery so his left arm was limp and he didn't really move it much. But now he is moving it just as much as his right and lifting it above his head. So we continue to do stretches and tummy time to strengthen his arm so he can one day be am IU basketball player. :-)


We finally got out of the house on Saturday and showed him off at two different parties. He did really well, so well that at one of the parties they were shooting off fireworks and Zander continued to sleep through them. Getting him use to noise - you know I am not a quiet person so I don't think it will take long for him to sleep through anything!


Last week we met with Krista and had his newborn pictures taken. I can't wait to see them, she had props and everything for him to lay in. Of course we took some nude, and you can just imagine what happened when we took his diaper off - yep, he marked his territory! Once I get the link to the pictures I will foward it on. Stay tuned!


Here is a family picture of us. Enjoy! Yes, I need to get some sun.
