Guy's 1 week checkup

Guy had his one-week checkup on Friday, and he is doing great.  He's an eater and a grower - he gained a couple of ounces over his birth weight.

He also measured in at 21 inches, which is nearly 3 inches more than when he was born.  We're assuming that he not growing insanely fast but in the craziness of his birth he was mis-measured at 18.5 inches.  I guess only time will tell.

The last couple of days have been uneventful.  We're all just getting used to each other and getting into our new routine. We're very thankful to everyone for the cards and help recently. Mary made us dinner a few nights ago, we got a Cookie Monster fruit basket from our friends Jon and Heather, and Joni has changed a few dirty diapers.

We did have our first parental test recently when we tried to give boys baths at the same time.  Guy was screaming because he was cold, and Lincoln was crying because he had shampoo in his eyes.  It wasn't pretty.  The only picture we got was a pre-bath test of Guy's baby bathtub.


Here's a picture of Lincoln playing with a new marble game he got for Christmas (with Guy watching in the background) and Lincoln and Guy posing for a picture. We're not sure why Lincoln pulls his shirt up now when he poses for pictures, but he says he learned it from Aunt Joni (Hmmm...Not sure what she's teaching him :) ).

I did no such thing! I believe Tracy was the one who taught him that! : ) I have to keep Tracy from doing that same thing when we are taking pictures! : )

Guy does have a rather bemused look on his face...he's obviously trying to figure out what big brother's deal is, too!!
