Holt is 4 Weeks!

*  You weigh 9 lb 8 oz!  You've gained 1.5 lb in 2 weeks!  The doctors like to see at least 1/2 ounce per day.  You're such an over-acheiver!  But be warned, if you keep this up, you'll be like 300 pounds by the time you're 3.
*  Due to your recent weight gain, you are quickly developing a double chin.  However, you are quite sensitive about it -- especially when Daddy tries to give you a "wipey bath" in your neck roll.
*  You're still a poop machine but I did finally change a diaper this week that was poop-free.  It hasn't happened again though.  One day!
*  We're getting really good with your nighttime schedule.  As long as we keep you up 2 hours around the 8-10pm hours, you will sleep until 5am.  Mommy really appreciates this!
*  You've developed grabby fingers.  Anything that brushes across your hands, you grab.  It has made dressing you slightly more difficult.  And slightly more painful for Mom to have her hair down while holding you.
*  You still love getting baths and taking car rides as well as hugs and kisses from your brothers.
*  Most of the time you outstretch all of your toes, especially on your left foot.  The pinkie toe gets so stretched out that it hardly appears to be a part of your left foot.

It is so hard to believe that you have been here for 4 weeks!  When people ask me how old you are, my initial response is 2 weeks, then I correct myself, no, 3 weeks.  Wait!  Oh no!  4 weeks!  He is 4 weeks!  The time is just flying by.  It's as if I can almost see you graduating high school.

It's hard to tell from the picture how stretched that pinkie toe gets!
