The first two and a half weeks

 How have we been passing our time here?  Snuggling our Snuggles....

... Sitting with our big boy, trying to stay cool.....

 ....enjoying moments of quiet when we find them....

 ....playing photographer, I love the little sneakers on the bottoms of these pants! ....

 ....Happy to get a few nice shots of a peaceful baby....

....and a few that more accurately reflect what has been on around here lately.

Timothy Jordan turned 3 weeks already on Saturday.  Oh, time goes too fast for this mommy.  We have been loving him, despite it being a real challenge lately.  Timothy weighed ten pounds even last Wednesday at the pediatrician, so he is already growing.  It was funny, the nurse charted his weight on the little graph they keep, and remarked, "He is in the 40th% tile." 
"Are you sure?" I asked. 
Well he would be in the fortieth percentile if he was 2 MONTHS old, instead of two weeks!  He is well off the top of the chart for weight for the time being anyway.  I think he is already losing some of the chunk he was born with.  He is looking longer and not quite as chubby.  We also think his hair is coming in reddish.  I am kind of pleased with this, I always wanted a red head, but time will tell what color he really ends up with. 
Timothy is still being a real stinker with eating.  And has now progressed to soy formula for supplements and we are probably on our way to the expensive stuff if the soy doesn't seem to do the trick.  But maybe, maybe he will start to nurse soon?  We are keeping up with the trying for the time being. 
It has been hot here, almost as hot as Savannah, I am sure.  No one has been real pleased to sit around and sweat all day, and Timothy is no exception.  I can't swaddle him in this heat, and he is still freaked out by his arms moving around.  But it is supposed to cool down a bit soon.  The big kids are begging to go to the pool, but I don't think I am quite up for that outing yet, but the thought of that cold water sure sounds tempting.  Summer has arrived.
