2 weeks old

How is my tiny baby already 2 weeks old?  We can tell he's changed.  Parker's face has filled out, and he's grown longer or at least stretches out more often.  We still think he's the best baby ever.  He only cries when he's hungry or needs changing.  He's not a fan of getting his diaper changed and kicks his legs and fights it, but he's getting better about calming down during or after changes.  He's become very messy this week having had several leaky diapers and peeing during diaper changes.  I knew we'd go through a lot of diapers, but I had no idea how often he might need changing.  He sleeps most of the day and looks so adorable:
Parker is still doing well at night and letting me sleep 3-4 hours between feedings.  He is a pro at shopping and eating at restaurants; he sleeps through every outing.  He is awake for only a few hours each day and just looks around.  We think he's started focusing on our faces more in the past couple of days.  This week, he went to both mommy and daddy's work, and he was a perfect baby and let everyone hold him.
I'm doing well and have been able to go on longer strolls lately.  I've lost over half of the baby weight and can already fit into some of my pre-pregnancy jeans!  I am pretty shocked by that.  It's nice to be able to wear my old clothes again.
Here are pictures from each day of Parker's 2nd week:

I love this one.  Look at those skinny limbs
