4 weeks old already

i cannot believe my sweet little baby boy is 4 weeks old!  we went to the pediatrician for his 4 week checkup and he did great!  our goal from the 2 week checkup was to fatten him up and help him "grow a butt" and he exceeded expectations!  he weighed in a 8lbs 9 oz and is 21.25 inches long.  he gained 2 lbs in 2 weeks and grew more than an inch - holy cow!  the nurse and pedi were so proud and almost in disbelief...and i was so happy and completely relieved.  :)

he is an eating machine right now.  i posted on facebook the other day that i felt like a dairy factory - oh my goodness.  but that is my #1 job right now and he is growing like a weed so that makes me very happy!  the first couple weeks we kept commenting on the fact that he was so quiet...not anymore, ha!  he has found his voice and is a pretty vocal little baby.  his sounds are pretty cute most of the time - maybe not at 3am - but most of the time. he is a grunter and is constantly making grunt noises or cooing or crying.  those are his 3 'sounds' right now.  :) 

you would think i would be used to the fact that time passes so quickly but i am still shocked that he has been here for 4 weeks already.  i want the time to slow down.  i want the days to be longer so i can really soak up this little boy and my time at home with him.  he is the perfect addition to our family.  happy 4 weeks davis james!
