Two weeks!

Alexander reached two weeks old yesterday! It seems like he's been with us for a lot longer than that some days. :) He had his weight check Monday and was up to 9lbs 11oz. Considering that he'd dropped down to about 7lbs 13oz at his 4 day checkup, it's an impressive weight gain. I guess I don't have to worry about whether he's getting enough milk!

In other major baby milestones, Alexander's cord fell off on Friday - he was 10 days old. That meant that on Saturday he could have his first real bath!
As you can see, he was less than impressed. He didn't mind it when the water was actually running over him, but once the water stopped the crying started.

Alexander also got to spend some more time with his extended family this weekend - he got to meet his uncle Phil, and his granddad came down to visit for the weekend and help tackle some more of the post ice storm spring cleanup that was needed in the yard.
Phil and Helena sent us an adorable newborn outfit, which we managed to get Alexander to wear once or twice before he outgrew it - he got to wear a dragon for his first D&D session!

And we've managed to get the moby wrap figured out - Alexander seems to like it. (That's his happy face in the first picture, really it is!)

The cats are also starting to accept Alexander a bit more. They still won't come too close to him, but they are willing to hang out in his general area now, and will come to their humans for attention even if they are holding the baby at the time. They didn't run away when we decided to get this picture, for instance!
