"He's So Skinny, Feed Him!"

We returned from our two week checkup at the doctor's office with new information regarding Ryan's growth.  As Sarah can attest Ryan doesn't miss many meals.  We weren't sure how much weight he had gained, but we were pretty sure he had made it back to his birth weight (8 Lbs, 3 oz).  When the time came for us to put him on the scale, we were both quite surprised (as well as the Dr and Nurse) that the scale read 10 lbs, 2 oz. 

Yes you read correctly, in a little over two weeks Ryan gained around two pounds... This weight puts him the the 90% for his age.

Since we don't go back to the doctor until Ryan is 2 months old, we asked out of curiosity what approximate weight he should be when we came back.  They delicately told us that some 2 month olds weigh 10 pounds.  Ryan will obviously be bigger, but is completely healthy.

In celebration we attempted the first family photo with all three of us.  Of all the photos we took, this was the best one, which isn't saying much.

Most of the rest looked more like this, with various levels of crying from those involved.

In classic fashion, as soon as we had put the camera away and given up on getting a good photo, Ryan decided to wake up :)
