I took Luke to his second well-baby check up this morning. He already passed his birth weight, and is 7 lbs 8.5 oz. On Tuesday, he weighed in at 7 lbs. 5 oz. That's more than an ounce a day! The doctor just wants babies back up to their birth weight by 2 weeks, which isn't until Monday for Luke. So he's very happy with his growth. Way to go, Luke!Luke is really being a good baby. He sleeps a lot and eats A LOT. He started clustering his feedings before he was even a week old, and he'll sleep for 4-5 hours at night. I really don't feel like I'm the mother of a newborn because I'm getting too much sleep! It's awesome.
The doctor also tested out his head control and thought it was great. I realized that we don't support his head, because we don't have to. His head just doesn't flop around!
I'm slowly working toward getting some fun Christmas things done. I baked a double batch of pumpkin bread yesterday (I don't recommend it unless you have a HUGE bowl) and today Zach helped me make sugar cookie dough. We'll bake them one day, decorate the next, I think. I love that I got so many things done before Luke arrived, so I really don't feel stressed out now. I think we'll enjoy the holidays a lot this year!
