2 Weeks Old

For just 2 weeks old Cannon has been pretty consistent with his sleep/wake times. He likes to sleep at night, usually for 4-5 hours between feedings. Here's hoping that with some consistency and direction he will be sleeping through the night before I have to go back to work. 

So little!

The day Cannon turned one week old he started sneezing a lot. He sneezes 3, 4 and even 5 times in a row! We are thinking he might be cursed with his Dad's bad allergies. Boo.

Other than that, Cannon is healthy and happy. He has such a big personality! When we gave him a bath this week he wanted to sleep instead and pulled the hood down over his eyes (maybe not intentionally, but it was still super cute!) 

Who turned the lights out?

 He has so much hair, and it's growing in thicker. We are really hoping it will continue to keep growing and not fall out. It's so much fun to style! We may need to trim up the back soon since he's starting to get a mullet. Ha ha!

One big accomplishment this week was losing the rest of the umbilical cord and discovering Cannon has an adorable belly button! :)

We had more visitors this week: 

So Lisa and Alyssa (Anthony's mom and sister) came to Rexburg the Saturday before Cannon was born. Marc (Anthony's dad) drove down on the 13th and stayed for the weekend, then he and Alyssa headed back to Washington and Lisa stayed with us. 

This last weekend Marc and Alyssa came back down from WA and Andrew & Brittany (Ant's brother and sis-in-law) came up from Utah. Then a couple days later Ashley & Madison (Ant's sister and niece) drove over from North Dakota. We were so happy to see everyone and it was quite the family reunion! :)

The weather warmed up enough for us to go out and enjoy Cannon's first ride in the stroller. (Thank you again Oma for the car seat and stroller. We are loving them!) We even got adventurous enough to go on our first outing to Porter's Craft Store. I bought stuff to make Cannon's first Christmas ornament. I have to admit, the store is so jam packed with crafting ideas it took me 45 minutes to pick out what I wanted. So many choices! I left feeling overwhelmed and tired. :)

We couldn't be happier with our new little man! He has such a big personality and so many fun faces. He is really smiley all the time and so expressive. Here are some expressive snapshots from the week.  

kisses!

It's amazing how quickly Cannon is growing and changing. Look at the differences between his face at 9 days old and 14 days old. We are glad we are taking so many pictures and capturing each phase.
