Our Growing Boy

It's amazing to think that Davis is now three weeks old, and Greg and I have survived these first few hectic weeks of parenthood!  :)  After losing 12% of his birth weight before being discharged from the hospital, Davis is finally back to his birth weight (now 10 lbs. 1.5 oz.) thanks to his incessant eating habits.  His umbilical cord stump finally fell off on April Fool's Day (or, as I like to say, he "grew a belly button").  That same day, he successfully managed to maneuver his thumb into his mouth, clamp down on it, and suck vigorously for a few moments before losing contact, an impressive feat which he has repeated once since then.  During "naked tummy time" yesterday, he rolled from his tummy onto his back.  I decided that this was a fluke, since it is way too soon for him to be rolling over.  Yet he did the same thing again today!  We're going to have a roller and a crawler before we know it - Davis is a strong little boy and growing so fast! Now here are some pictures from the past couple of weeks. Davis goes on his first stroll around our neighborhood and meets his (very excited) "cousin" Sherman.  Cuddling with mommy . . . his favorite pastime.  Playing with Daddy.  Meeting Grandma and Grandpa Mueller.  Being cute.  Sleepy smiling - it is so cute when he smiles and giggles in his sleep!  "I'm so adorable!"
