Thank you for visiting us, Love Vaughan.

Happy 3 weeks old  Vaughan!

You are getting more and more expressive every day. You keep your eyes open for longer periods of time and make the cutest faces. Your Dad's favorite is the fish mouth. It is commonly perceived that you are thinker based on your pensive looks and the way you prop your finger on your cheek.

Although you are growing more expressive you are also just flat growing. You weigh right at 9 lbs and are building up serious arm muscles in all who carry you. You are eating like a champion and do not allow Mom much sleep these days. I think you are secretly getting ready to sprout a few more inches in length as your baby fat moves in .

Your motor skills are developing more and more each day. You can hold your head up for several seconds and you sling your body back  with force when you are tired of being burped.  You kick quite a bit and we hope it is getting you ready for future swim lessons with Grandpa Lovette. You also have a firm grip these days and move with more force.

As you grow your facial features are changing too. Once upon a time it was believed you were going to look a lot like your mom but this week, Mom doesn't think so. You seem to have eyes the shape of your Dad's and a nose like your Grandpa Hillery's. Your mouth is still a mystery but it's wide like your Mom , Dad, Great Grandpa Dawes, and Memaw. Your skin is like your Dad's and changes colors when you are happy and sad to various shades of pink. Your chubby cheeks came from yours truely and don't seem to be going anywhere.
 You are precious to all who see you and we look forward to watching you
grow to be another week old.
