Two weeks ... and growing

Baby Jaden is growing like a weed. He just went for his second doctor's appointment, and he now weighs 7 pounds, 7 ounces!!!! He is starting to fill out (he's got that round face, double chin, etc). His legs are still skinny but they are getting there - no "bracelets" yet. He is wearing his "newborn" clothes now, but I think he can still wear his preemie stuff.




Jaden loves to "talk" to his Por-Por




Michelle, Brandon, and Jaden are settling into a nice routine. Michelle and Brandon are learning to takes naps when Jaden is sleeping. In fact the first two nights, Edwin & I were "nap duty" so if the kids wanted to take a nap, we got to hold the baby!!!! Woowoo. I do have to confess that Michelle's couch is really not made for two people to sleep on ... but I can sleep anywhere (even standing up).

The new grandparents are thoroughly enjoying Jaden ... he just makes us happy just to look at him and listen to him make "baby noises".














Jaden loves to smile at his Goong-Goong. It really makes his day (Edwin's day)!!!! He is just overcome with happiness when he is with Jaden.


There is a rumor that we might be traveling to Orlando in October for a dragonboat race at Walt Disney World (Jenny, Michelle, Brandon, and Jaden too) . Needless to say, Edwin and I are ready, willing, and able to go!!!!! In fact we have reserved our tickets and the condo is booked. Hopefully they will get enough people to enter the dragonboat race. If not, Edwin & I will go on "vacation" (I guess).

Dennis and Jenny are having a fun time with the baby too.

It was the first time Jenny had EVER held a baby.

HE'S HERE ...

Our precious Jaden Michael Young made his debut last night at 9:38 p.m (7/6). He weighed in at 6 pounds, 6 ounces and 19.5 inches long. We got to meet Jaden when he was about 45 minutes old. We were amazed how alert and cute he was - he didn't look like a newborn. He has a personality already. Words cannot express the feelings we had when we first met this little one. The picture on the left was taken when Jaden was about 10 minutes old (and smiling too).

Here are a few more pictures of the newest member of our family.

That's it for now ... keep watching as Jaden grows.

LET THE SPOILING BEGIN ...
