Our Little Man

Our little man is two weeks as of yesterday now. He's 4 ounces more than his birth weight and has grown half an inch. Koen makes some pretty good facial expressions all day long, whether he's awake or sleeping. We often wonder what he must be dreaming about when he makes some of the faces he does. He often makes Jon and I laugh. Koen still loves being held. If he's being held, he seems to think he's got it made. Little does he know that we feel the same way about holding him.
I'm amazed at how quickly the day goes by. Even though he sleeps much of the day, I've had a hard time finding time to work on our Christmas stockings. I better get on them though because there's just a week left! Santa is going to be sad if we don't have our Christmas stockings up when he comes!
I turned 22 last Sunday. It feels much different than 21.... just kidding. It was a wonderful birthday. Jon had been so excited about my gift for weeks. He wanted me to open it two weeks earlier when it came in the mail. But I personally like opening my birthday gifts on my birthday, so I refused to open it early. It was a great gift though. But I can't share what it was because our parents are actually getting the same thing for Christmas. So, maybe I'll share it with you all later if I can remember to do so. Jon also gave me the great gift of taking a nice LONG nap. I guess I didn't realize just how tired I was because I slept for several hours while Jon took care of Koen. It felt pretty good! He also made me a tasty dinner. Thanks for the wonderful day Jon!

I tried playing around with Koen and the camera today... he seemed to have some mix feelings about posing for me. haha I'm going to have to try it again earlier in the day when he's a little bit more tired and I can more easily put him how I want him. So here's a couple of shots:
