Lucas had his 2 week check up on Monday. The doctor was amazed at how much weight Lucas had gained in his 14 days of life. (I was not surprised considering I have felt like a walking udder the past 2 weeks!) Anyway, he now weighs 9 lbs 5 ounces, which means he gained about 1.5 ounces per day. Because Lucas has been such a hearty eater, the doctor suggested we introduce 1 bottle feeding per day, in order to give me a much needed break. He assured us Lucas would not get nipple confusion. Well, Sam got to take a crack at it the past 2 nights. The first night, Lucas gorged himself since the milk came out of the bottle so easily and it all came back up. Last night, Lucas was much more successful and I got a full night's sleep. SO NICE!!! 
This picture shows why I call Lucas my little bean. He curls on my shoulder just like this--like a little kidney bean.
It's amazing how much he has changed in just these few days. He looks different, he cried real tears on 6/16, he makes eye contact with us and evens tracks our faces. The best change is he actually smiles now.

Is it just me or is Sam posing for a Calvin Klein commercial? He looks naked. Anywho, Baby Lucas is beautiful!

Sam is doing great!!! Glad Lucas is eating well...can't wait to see him again.

So who took the pic if you were asleep? - Mary
Ardis--Sam had just gotten out of the shower and did have bottoms on...the best part was Lucas spit up ALL over him and he needed another shower.
Mary--I took the pic the first night. Sam took over the second night, when I actually got some sleep. Sorry I can't come up with a better comment!!
Keri & Candace--Thanks so much!!
