Growing

It is hard to tell from pictures just how small Xavier really is. When people see his picture, they immediately exclaim that he looks like a big boy, or that he doesn't look like he's only 2 1/2 lbs. Seeing him in person is an entirely different experience.
Yesterday, I decided to take home one of the diapers he wears for comparison to a newborn diaper sample that I have.





He is getting bigger every day, and each day we see him he looks like a new baby. He has more hair now, his skin is getting darker, and his features are becoming more defined. I try not to get caught up in his weight since we are in for a long journey. I decided instead of asking each and every day how much he weighs, I will ask his nurses once a week how much he weighs. This is how they are charting his progress anyway since daily weights tend to fluctuate.
