E is 2 weeks old!

Mr. Everett is 2 weeks old!  We had our first full alone week.  He's still being a great baby and sleeping/eating every 4 hours.  We had a couple frustrating nights but I think both Andy and I have him figured out now :)

Saturday the 16th we had friends over for tacos, corona's, cards and a little Everett meet and greet.  Everyone thought he was a really ugly, annoying baby ;)  He got passed around the whole night and didn't make a peep.  It was so nice to finally enjoy a couple adult beverages with friends again!  Everett has already managed to steal a couple hearts.

Sunday the 17th was my due date!  We did his newborn photos in the morning.  That was quite the experience...He struggled at first since he was hungry and managed to poop and pee on everything, including the photographer!!  I'm sure she is used to it but it was still slightly embarrassing and quite the mess.  After he ate and got sleepy E was much more cooperative and hopefully we got some good shots! We can't wait to see how they turned out!
Everett had lots of firsts on the 17th.  He went to his Dad's first hockey game and then to our favorite sushi restaurant.  He was so good.  Thanks to his 4 hour feeding schedule we were able to go to the hockey game and get through dinner and home before he needed to eat.  No screaming baby in a restaurant for us yet!

Snuggled up and cheering on Dad

Andy was off on Monday for the Presidents day holiday.  The weather has been really nice and most of our snow is gone so we've been trying to get out and walk Cali and Everett around the block every day.  So far he loves the walks!

Everett loves hanging out and checking out the world after he eats.  Love when his eyes are open big and wide :)

We had his 2 week checkup on Thursday the 21st.  He is doing really great!  He's up to 6 lbs and 1.5 ounces and 19 1/4 inches.  Considering he only eats every 4 hours he's gaining almost an ounce a day so he's right on track.  Because he's eating so well his color is now normal so we didn't have to get another bilirubin test done, thank goodness.  He did have to have a heel stick to do the PKU newborn screening.  We still had trouble with that.  The blood wasn't filtering correctly through the paper because he clots almost immediately.  Guess we don't have to worry about him having a bleeding disorder!

I'm 2 weeks old today!

Still so little but snuggly in my new monkey jams

Yesterday (Friday) I had book club and everyone got to meet little Everett.  Again he was so good and just slept the whole time.  Mom got to enjoy good friends, conversation and wine and he got snuggled and passed around.  Everyone says he looks like Andy.  He's pretty cute so I'll agree :)

Today we got a big snowstorm...:(  I'm ready for spring and mountain biking.  We were feeling a little cooped up so we decided to go for a quick hike.  There's a great canyon just 5 miles down the road that we always take Cali to and also bike at a lot.  We rigged Andy up with the baby Bjorn, strapped Everett in and went trekking through the snow.  We were only out for about 15 minutes but we all had a good time, especially Cali.

You can see just a little bit of Everett's head poking up inside Andy's jacket :)

My new bike!!

Andy's parents and sister will be here next Friday, March 1st.  We are so excited to see them and can't wait till they are here!!  Crossing our fingers for good driving weather!

Till next week!

Love, 

Lexi, Andy, Everett and Cali
