Little Blondie

Duncan is two weeks old and the last few days have been good for him. They have been keeping him on his tummy and just turning his head so it doesn't get flat on one side. Today he is 1lb. 15 oz!! He is close to 2lb!! He is doing well with his feedings and likes to have his binky as he is fed. Today at noon a developmental specialist was watching him as the nurse did her rounds. She was checking to see how he reacted to touch and what he did as he was fed. He opened his eyes and was looking at me and Nana. He smiled a little too. She said he was doing all the things that he was supposed to be doing. They also look to see if they are too tired and what the nurses need to do to make sure he doesn't get too tired.

Justin and I went back this evening just in time for another feeding. He was so squirmy. He likes to move a lot. Earlier he had rolled off the little blanket roll they have him laying on, he was quickly put back on and secured a little more.

He was happy to hear his daddy's voice and even smiled for him a little too. He likes to keep his hands close to his face, and he will even suck on his fingers, like he is doing in the picture. And look at all that blonde hair!! Justin isn't convinced Duncan is his because he doesn't look anything like him. Every time there is a new nurse they look at him and me and say, "So that's where all the blonde hair comes from." One even asked me if I was a natural blonde. I wanted to ask her if her gray hairs were her natural hair color. Yes, it is my natural color. A lot of people think he looks like my dad, and he does, but he also looks a lot like my grandpa Cothrun.
He is just so cute. And he loves his Nana, Papa and Aunt Suzi. I think he is starting to recognize their voices. He loves his cousin Aubree too and he will open his eyes for her one day soon. :)
