Family picture and a few updates...

The most recent family photo:

Noah had a busy weekend meeting extended family! Saturday was his first trip to Nana and Grandad's house where he met Phyllis and Clarence. Phyllis is Waylon's (3rd?) cousin - which I guess makes her Noah's 4th cousin - we'll just call them aunt and uncle though! :-) They made the trek from Myrtle Beach just to meet Noah!

Then, on Sunday, he met his Great Gramma and his Great Uncle Michael. Gramma came to our house from Albemarle just for a few hours to meet Noah. Thanks to my mom for bringing her here and to Michael for taking her back that afternoon! This is a picture of the 4 generations:



My mom stayed and is now here until Friday. She has already been a huge help since today was Waylon's first day back to work. It's nice to have her here since I'm still pretty sore and slow going - although I am feeling a little better each day. She cooked all morning and we ended up freezing the meal she made (which actually made 3 meals) since Keri, Chris and Lydia came by tonight and brought dinner! Everyone has been so generous... I think we've cooked dinner twice since we've been home from the hospital.


I think Waylon was glad to get back to his normal routine with the gym and work, but it was hard for him to be away from Noah, too. He's been cuddling with him most of the night tonight.


Today, Noah had his 2 week doctor's appointment. He's now up to 10 lbs, 2 oz!! That means he's gained a little over 1 1/2 lbs in 10 days!! Wow. Everyone was impressed with his weight gain. He's in the 75-90th percentile for both height and weight. Everything else looked great, too. He's totally healthy and not due back for another well visit until he's 2 months old. Wouldn't it be nice if we didn't have to go back before then! We'll see though!
