We're Already Growing!!

We had our first doctor's visit yesterday to check weight and growth since we are exclusively breast feeding. The doc said we are doing GREAT since Alex had lost weight (6 lbs. 13 oz.) on Wednesday due, but yesterday he already re-gained to his birth weight (7 lbs. 1 oz.) and then some, weighing 7 lbs. 4 oz. and measuring 21 inches. This put him in the 21st percentile for weight and the 84th percentile for height! He is definitely going to be a long and lean Tinker boy.

We are having so much fun with our grandparents in town and aunt Angie, Jackie and uncle Matt are here for the weekend too! The doc says babies don't smile until about 2 months, but our little guy is already TRYING to grin and even hold up his neck! He is strong and a very healthy eater!!

We will talk to you soon. Enjoy some new pictures from days 4 and 5 of Alex's life.
