Little Buddy at 3-weeks

Teo celebrated his first 3-weeks on earth this past Friday.
Plus he had his first doctor's appointment the day before. And as we suspected, after watching him fill out every day it seems (especially his face, as you can see by the pics), and eat and sleep like a champ, he gained a pound-and-a-half. He now weighs 9lbs. Yes, he weighed 7lbs.-14oz. at birth, but he lost 1/2 of a pound by the second day in the hospital, so was down to 7-1/2 pounds, but has gained the weight back and lots more in these 2-1/2 weeks home. Doc says he's in the 75th percentile for weight gain. Plus he's grown a 1/2-inch, and is in the 50th percentile for reaching that mark. Guess mom's juice is jacked. And I can attest that Teo is HIGHLY addicted to the juice - so hooked is he that he even CRIES for it! Candice gives in every time, too. What an enabler.
He seems to love the light and contrast. He'll stare at the TV (that's just great), and loves looking at one of our living room lights, as well as the vertical blinds when the sun is cracking through.
His schedule is still a work in progress (in terms of obliging Candice and me with more than a 4-hour stretch of sleep here and there), but I think he is ever so slowly staying up longer and longer and sleeping a touch longer. I guess the whiskey I told Candice to drink just before his 9pm feeding is starting to kick in with him. Pretty soon we'll have them on the coffee kick to get him jump-started in the morning. It'll help in his walking training we'll be starting after he turns 4-weeks old.
And as you can see by the pics, he is our beautiful little buddy. I keep telling Candice HE should be the new face on all the Gerber packaging.
