Almost two weeks old and our first Easter

Well our little guy turns two weeks tomorrow.  He has been to the doctor's office twice now and here is how his weight change has gone.  Born 7lbs 2 oz, next day 6lbs 13oz, two days later 6lbs 15 oz, and just yesterday he weighed in at 7lbs 13oz.  That means that I am producing milk just fine and he is eating like a champ.  Overall, he is a happy little kid and we are having so much fun with him.  There was a period of anxiety when we first brought him home but we are getting into a rhythm and feeling much more comfortable every day.
My mommy hormones seem to have leveled out, which is great because I was a bit of a mess with all the crying.  When we went to give him his first bath at home his umbilical cord got stuck on my tank top strap and no matter what we did to try and disconnect it the little thing ended up being pulled off of Greyson's tummy.  He cried for 5 seconds and was fine, I cried for a bit longer and was not fine.

Here are some pictures and videos of his second week of life and Easter at the Gaarde's house.

Trying to stay up on things when it might be the last thing on my mind


Trying out different holds



We like our boppy and our swing and our hands being up by our face at all times



Length comparison at exactly one week old


Second bath at home



I sure do love this kid


First Easter as a family


The very cuddly blanket made by Aunt Christina


Just trying to get some open eye pictures

Here is a video from after our first bath just because I wanted to document his adorable little body


Also, here is a link to the lullaby that Lars wrote for Greyson.  We recorded five songs for him but the other ones were just arrangements of other peoples' pieces.
