6 weeks

I cannot believe my baby boy is 6 weeks already!  Where has the time gone??  He is getting so big I can't believe it.  At his one month doctor's appointment he weighed 8 pounds 3 ounces, meaning he gained over an ounce a day in two weeks.  He is finally getting a few rolls on his thighs, and he has a spare tire around his stomach.  He had his evalution with a physical therapist and developmental specialist on Friday.  They said most newborns rate around a 7 right now, and Jude was rating about a 2.  It made me a little sad, but she said he was doing great for his diagnosis and he shows great promise.  He starts meeting with his own physical therapist and developmental specialist every other week begining in about two weeks, and I know he is going to really start improving.  He has started lifting his head a little during tummy time already and we are so proud of him!

Just because I love him so much and I think he is just about the cutest boy I have ever seen in my life, cue roll of pictures:






(Have you noticed a common theme in the schocked look he always has on his face)
