Wow, time flies and it has been two weeks since my water broke while sitting at this computer. Jalen has been changing so much. Of course it's easy to compare when we take so many pictures of him every day. Some of his outfits are fitting perfectly today and may not fit at all in a week or so.
Jalen had his two week check up yesterday, and that confirmed to us that he is doing very well. He has grown an inch since birth - now 21.5 in. That puts him in the 95% for boys his age. He has regained his birthweight and then some - from 7 lbs 15 oz last Wednesday to 9 lbs 2 oz on Friday! As I've said, he's a very good eater. He is doing well at night most nights. He has a stretch where he sleeps about 5 hours, giving Mommy some much needed shut eye. When Dad gets home in the evenings Jalen does his exercises, crawling up Dad's chest, pushing off with his legs, and holding his head up like a champ. He doesn't get scared when Mace barks, just gets wide-eyed and startled for a quick second. He is staying awake longer in between feedings and looks around and tells us stories. Jalen's only problem in life right now is diaper changes. He's gone through about 75 diapers in a week and has HATED every diaper change. I think he actually has a thing for dirty diapers because he's never in a clean one for more than 30 minutes.
We've had Mamaw here this week to visit and help out, and Nan, Papaw Chod, and Uncle Jake were here last night to see baby J in the flesh. That's about all for now. More milestones soon I'm sure!
