Week 2

It's been an exciting 11 days since Tommy arrived. Monday was a banner day for him. His umbilical cord stump fell off, he passed his hearing test, and had gained a pound since last Tuesday. So he initially lost 1/2 a pound from his birth weight, then gained it back and added an extra 1/2 pound in 6 days. Way to go, little man. We made it out for a walk in the stroller yesterday. He barely filled up the new ride, but fell right asleep during the excursion. Gonna try to get out again today. Here are some pics from the past few days...

EZ and the snoozing little guy.



Ready for a ride around U Street.


We went for a walk to the grocery store. First time out in the stroller. EZ lookin like a hip momma.

The ride put him right to sleep.

Tom and Meredith brought us dinner last night. Delicious meal and awesome rum cake dessert. Thanks, y'all.

Tita Liz visits again on her way back to NYC.

Vu holds little T. Maybe he'll be able to learn some culinary skills from Vu someday.

Tommy and his Pops.

Tommy's facial expressions are so fun to watch. He goes from smiling to frowning to pouting to intense stares in seconds. Always changing.

Tito John and Tita Kelley brought the family up for a visit. Tommy could probably fit into Grayson's diaper. Hard to imagine he's going to grow up so big.

Mom and son share a quiet moment together.


Tito Rick holds his nephew. Rick thinks he's pretty awesome. He sure is.


Tita Michelle gets a few minutes to hold Tommy the little heat box. He's so warm and cuddly.


Tommy with his Tito and Titas. Smiles all around.
