They grow HOW fast??

William had his 2 week appointment, and boy was it exciting! I love our pediatrician. Dr. Fox was my pediatrician and is good friends with both mine and Danny's parents. We were interested to see if William had gained any weight, because as skinny as he is, he looks like he's filling out a little bit. Here are his stats:

At Birth:
Weight: 6 lbs 11 oz (which dropped to 6 lbs 3 oz in the days after he was born)
Height: 21.3 inches

2 Weeks:
Weight: 7lbs 5 oz
Height 22.3 inches

When he was at his lowest he was in the 9th percentile for his weight and the 89th for his height. He is now in the 15th percentile for his weight and in the 95th percentile for his height!!! Talk about long and skinny! I was changing his diaper earlier today and he started to flex his legs out, so I couldn't resist taking this picture!


Check out those legs! Those skinny little ankles and big feet get me every time! I didn't really realize how much he could grow so fast until we put this cute brown outfit on him for the second time, which, when we put it on him the first time it fit perfectly! But this morning when we put it on, the buttons were a little tighter between his legs.

I seriously can't get enough of this little guy! The last two weeks have been a whirlwind, but the more we figure out this mommy and daddy thing, the more we fall in love with him! He's so sweet and cuddly! We're definitely blessed to have such a calm child! For now at least. He gets that from the Tyler side (ha ha).
He has some great facial expressions... but we're too slow to capture the best ones!!! Here's one of my favorites:
