The Lane Family: Our first two weeks as parents

Kellen is now 2 1/2 weeks old. Life as parents so far has been great. I think Kellen would say he's pretty darn comfortable & is fed well if he could talk. Kellen is still maintaining his calm demeanor which has been nice for Mommy & Daddy. He often stays wide awake without fussing for long stretches of time which is fun. He'll look us dead in the eye, and Jeremy & I often say we can't wait until he smiles at us. I just know he has a smile behind those eyes even though he can't show it yet. We know Kellen is aware of who Mommy & Daddy are. Often when he needs soothing, just the sound of our voices can calm him. He is a strong boy, and does very well with tummy time at such a young age. His head control is excellent!

At our two week of age appointment, Kellen now weighs 9 pounds 8 ounces, and is 21 1/4 inches. He is putting on weight very well.

We gave him his first "real" bath last night. He wasn't too fond of it, but we know he'll eventually love it! Once he's out & dried off, he is so calm & peaceful.

Kellen loves it when Daddy changes him - so much he has "christened" Daddy from both ends! Mommy has been lucky - although I probably just jinxed myself... He makes us crack up laughing all the time, his facial expressions are priceless.

Jeremy is now back to work, and he misses his boy a ton during the day. Mommy has been fine by hersef during the day without Daddy. It was daunting at first (especially since Daddy is the master soother), but as soon as I got through that first day, it was a relief that I could do it without too much trouble!
