3 Weeks and Counting

Jordy:

-likes to look at the Christmas lights that are up in the living room

-often gets hiccups

-loves to snuggle (has yet to fall asleep without being held)

-likes to be warm (hates getting changed/undressed)

-is a good little eater...and decides he's hungry in about 5 seconds flat! (he's made a lot of progress eating- he started out like a cat just licking the milk!)

-loves to suck on his pacifier

-calms down when he hears the rainstick (most of the time)

-was born with a really strong neck- he was holding himself up and looking around right when we got home from the hospital

-we can get him to look at our faces (sometimes his eyes still go a little cross-eyed, but not often)

-was born with really long fingernails (and we haven't really been able to cut them yet--leaving him with a few scratches on his face)

 -has shown a few little glimpses of a smile-in-the-making (may have been gas related...however, most of the time "those" things don't even phase him- he'll sleep right through his squirts!!) 

-not a big fan of his swing, bouncer chair or his play pen. He will sleep in the big bed though...figures! 

-outgrew newborn diapers at about a week and a half (not before going through 2 full packs! We knew it was probably time for the next size up when we went through more than 5 outfits in one day Ü) 

-was back up to his birth-weight (and passed it by 3 oz) at his 2 week doctor's appointment! That's our big, growing boy! 

**Thanks Uncle Ben for helping get Jordy's picture taken. I know, poor guy, not even a year off his mission and he's being mistaken for having a kid already! But he was a good sport and very helpful- that would have been awful trying to do that alone. THANKS BEN!
