Still Growing!

Jaxon weighed in at 12 pounds 3 ounces yesterday!  Not quite a full pound, but enough to put him above the 95th percentile for weight.  It's amazing seeing other babies that were born at the same time or earlier that look so much smaller than Jaxon.  There was a 9 week old that was still only 9lb11oz.

Also, grandma Chris pointed out that Jaxon has his eyes closed in all the pictures posted so far, so here are some pictures with his eyes open :)  The first 2 are the most recent.

4 weeks old!

It's been a while since the last update, so I thought Jaxon's birthday would be a good time to do it!  It's hard to believe he is already 4 weeks old, the time has flown by!

Birth to 3 offers a free drop-in "Baby Connection" every Wednesday where parents can go to meet and talk to other new parents, as well as weigh their baby and speak with a nurse about any concerns or questions.  We also get a picture to take home.  We took Jaxon in last week and he weighed in at 11 pounds 5 ounces!  That's a pound a week weight gain.  I'm pretty confident that when we weigh him tomorrow he will be at least 12 pounds.  He has been making much more eye contact this week and has even given Kate a couple grins today.
