Growing and Growing!

Ryan is 4 weeks old now and time has flown by! I'm a little late in posting Ryan's new stats, but when we went to the doctor for his 2 week check-up (he was already 2 1/2 weeks) he weighed 7 pounds 9 ounces and had grown about an inch. The doctor said he is gaining weight very well and had gained 1.4 pounds since his last appointment. The only thing that concerned us was what the doctor had to say about Ryan's ears. His earlobes curl up and the doctor thought that they would come down on their own, but he now thinks that they won't and is recommending plastic surgery. I figure that we will just wait and see how they are in a year and go from there. Next appointment is not until he is 2 months old in September.

It's amazing how much he is changing everyday. He's almost grown out of his newborn clothes and has graduated to the next size in diapers! One of his favorite things to do is stare at your face as you talk to him. His eyes get really big and he's starting to smile when you talk to him. He also enjoys playing in his crib and staring at his fish aquarium (see below pics!).
