Two Weeks Old

Another week has come and gone! Ace is two weeks old. He’s growing so fast, and starting to make more eye contact and look at more things. More firsts for Ace as time continues on.
Monday, O and B brought us dinner and brought their almost 6 month old little girl. She’s adorable, and growing like a weed. It makes me sad and excited to see what Ace will be like in 5.5 months.

Tuesday, Ace got to meet Vanessa and Sabria who brought me lunch and spent a few hours here. It was good to see her. Sabria just in two weeks that I haven’t seen her already has grown so much and is smiling like crazy – she is adorable and hard believe that she’s over two months old already. Claire also stopped by to bring us dinner which was very sweet and we’re still enjoying it even today. Delicious! Loving Husband and our neighbor T also were able to fix our garage doors that have been broken since April!! It’s great to have working garage doors again!

Wednesday was a low key day just stayed at home and took a walk to see the duck ducks! No visitors just a day for our family. It was nice.

Thursday we all got cleaned up and made our way to JCPennys to take family photos! They will be ready on September 19th and they all turned out great. 12 days old and he’s already quite photogenic. Loving Husband is convinced he will be the most photographed baby on the planet – it’s probably true. Only on his 15th day of life and I already have over 300 taken. Many duplicates of the same pose – but he’s only this size once in his little life.

Friday was Ace’s second doctor’s appointment to check his weight. He has grown another three quarters of an inch and is now 22” tall! Which places him in the 93% for height. He gained another 8 ounces for a whopping 8lbs 7oz total placing him in the 46% for weight! He’s doing just fine and looking adorable. This past week he’s started to develop his little milk gut – looks pretty cute in all those onesies he’s fitting into. This week he officially out grew one outfit, and really it was simply due to poor craftsmanship – because the only place he’s outgrown it is in the arms. At least he got to wear it once. :)

On Saturday we enjoyed Ace’s first trip to a wedding. Our friends from community group, Dan and Celeste got married and we attended with our little man. He slept through the ceremony and did very well all through the reception. It was a short wedding, so that was good for his first one. He looked adorable in his little polo shirt. We have another wedding in two weeks, an outdoor wedding! On Saturday, we also stopped by to meet the latest arrival of Johnathan, born on Thursday to our friends Brian and Jayme. He was a 9lb+ baby and doesn’t look all that different from Ace – lots of hair and adorable. In fact they both got fussy and hungry at the same time. They should be good friends.

Today we have enjoyed relaxing and giving Ace some tummy time and watching him inch along the blanket on the floor and turning his head from one side to the other, trying very hard already to try and crawl. Here in a bit, we’re headed to church for Ace’s first church service. We’re loving every minute we get to spend with this little guy as he continues to grow.
