I can't believe James is already two weeks old! We went to our pediatrician today for his two week checkup. James weighs 8 lbs 10 oz and is 22.25 inches long. He is up 4 oz from his birth weight and has grown an inch already! He is in the 75th percentile for weight and the 97th percentile for height. Dr. Smith, our pediatrician, said he is a beautiful baby and doing great! We go back on June 30th for his two month checkup. Here is what babycenter.com says about how James is growing:Your womb was a warm and cozy environment, and it takes time for your baby to adjust to the various sights, sounds, and sensations of life outside your body. You may not be able to detect much of a personality just yet as your baby spends his time moving in and out of several different states of sleepiness, quiet alertness, and active alertness.The only way your baby knows to communicate is by crying, but you can communicate with him through your voice and your touch. (He can now recognize your voice and pick it out among others.)Your baby probably loves to be held, caressed, kissed, stroked, massaged, and carried. He may even make an "ah" sound when he hears your voice or sees your face, and he'll be eager to find you in a crowd.
