2 weeks

Kayton turned 2 weeks old yesterday. Here is a little bit about us for the last two weeks.

At his 2 week appointment, he weighed 9 lbs 1 oz. and was 21 3/8 in long.

He had some slight jhondis when we went in for his first appointment. It wasn't bad enough to do treatment but poor thing had to get his foot pricked twice for testing. It has pretty much fixed itself, which we are thankful for.

He has slept good throughout the night. We have even gotten around 4 hours of straight sleep a couple nights. He doesn't like to sleep in his bassinet/pack n play that we have by our bed though. He has been sleeping with us just because he sleeps better that way.
He makes the cutest faces. Sadly they are so fast that we can't get them on camera most of the time, but he smiles in his sleep mostly and then makes a cute coo face when he is awake.

He is a good eater. I was nervous at first just with being a first time mom, but he is eating really well and is pretty consistent about when he eats too.

His looks are a good mixture of both of us. Most people have said that he looks like Nate but there have been a few that say his looks come from my side of the family. Either way, he is just a super cute baby.
He loves to be held. Usually that is the only thing that will calm him down is just to be held and bounced. I love it because my new favorite thing is just to sit and hold him, especially when he is napping during the day.

He has lost his umbilical cord and had his first real bath on Sunday.
He has big dark blue eyes.

We just love him and are glad he is in our lives. It's a big adjustment, but a good one.
