2 Weeks Old

Dear Sweet Blake -

I can't believe it!  You're already 2 weeks old!  Time has just flown by since you've come into our lives.  You are becoming more and more animated with your facial expressions.  Right now, my favorite thing you do is cuddle!  I love taking naps with you on my chest and just hearing your dreams and breathing while you sleep! 

You went to the pediatrician for your check-up, and here's where you are:
8lbs., 6.5 oz (50%)
22 in long (90%)
14 3/4 in head (75%)

Dr. B says you're perfect!  We agree!

Some things that you have started to do:

• You are slowly getting the hang of sleeping at night.  Most nights you have had trouble going to bed, but by the 2nd feeding in the night you sleep very soundly for 3-4 hours.
• You have started noticing and playing with the toys on your play mat.
• You have an incredible grip and like to grab on to all sorts of things that come your way.
• You are eating more and more each week.  Currently you're at an average of 3 oz per feeding every 3 hours.  Sometimes you want more.
• You still like to have your hands in front of your face, which sometimes prevents you from getting your bottle in your mouth and keeping your pacifier in your mouth. 
• You are slowly but surely growing into some of your cute 0-3 month clothing instead of NB.
• You have a sweet dream sequence that you do when you're falling asleep!  You make the sweetest sounds and faces during these.

What a blessing you have been to us sweet boy!  I can't help but just watch you and love on you.  I thank our God every night for blessing us with you.  You are one loved little boy!

Love Always,
Mommy
