9lbs. and Climbing

So, Michael Dean had his 2 week checkup last Friday (yah, I'm slightly behind on here!) and he is up to 9lbs. and has grown an inch to 21.5 inches. He's a big, little man who just keeps getting stronger. We arm wrestle each time I feed him and he usually wins. (Well, that's what I let him think at least. We all know mom will always win...)

We're doing well. He's not sleeping as great as he was at first but we're still getting around 4 hours at night, so I can't complain too much. He's such a trooper, though. My beautiful brother, sister-in-law and niece surprised us and flew in last Friday and stayed through yesterday. So, we ended up having a busy 3 days and MD did wonderful. He had had it by family picture time (at 10pm Monday night) though. Can you blame him? He made it beautifully through a couple different restaurant trips and many different peoples' arms. Gosh, I just adore that little boy.

Here's some updated pics. Enjoy...
