3 weeks old!

We gave Cole his second bath today - he loves the water, but I think he could do without the drafty walk to and from the bath. I borrowed a baby scale from Kirk's sister and we discovered that Cole is 10 pounds! Wow! I knew he felt heavier, but I was amazed that he's hit double digits. That's our boy!

2 weeks old

Cole is 2 weeks old - it hardly seems possible that this fabulous little guy has only been in our lives for 2 weeks. He is still a bit of a night owl (which he gets from his dad) and I'm amazed at how wide awake he can be at 3am. He's starting to show us some funny faces (Blue Steel ala Zoolander). We continue to be enthralled with his every move!

Big boy!

A trip to the pediatrician yesterday - Cole is 8 pounds 6 ounces!!

The day arrives!

Cole Sengo Beppu was born on Friday, February 1st at 1:48pm. He weighed 7 pounds, 9 ounces and was 20.5 inches long. We were only at the hospital for 6 hours before Cole made his appearance. We fell in love with him the moment we saw him. He cried for a few minutes, but for the most part, he just stared at us with his big eyes. He was a sweet baby from the start.

We are all doing well at home - adjusting to life with a newborn (trying to nap when the Cole naps) and learning to use all the great gifts we received at the baby shower. Kirk is a master-swaddler now!

Cole has a great appetite. At the pediatrician's office yesterday, we learned that he has already gained back his birth weight! His little cheeks are already getting a bit chubby.
