2 Weeks Old Today!

Dear Kent,

Today you are 2 weeks old! I can't believe how fast time is flying already. :) Here is what you have been up to these two weeks...

+ You came home from the hospital when you were four days old!

+ You met your grandparents and uncles.

+ You wear Newborn size diapers.

+ You wear Newborn size clothes, but every now and then Mommy or Daddy will put you in a 0-3 month outfit because it's easier to slide on and off of you, as you like to squirm when we dress you.

+ You LOVE to pee-pee on Mommy and Daddy when we change your diapers!

+ Your umblical cord still hasn't fallen off.

+ You had your first doctor's appointment... look how cute you looked for it:

+ The doctor said you looked healthy and your weight had jumped up to 7 lbs even!

+ We had a scare when the formula we had you on was recalled! We switched you from the powder to the liquid and you are tolerating it very well.

+ We had one REALLY sleepless night so far.

+ We worked with you on keeping you up more during the day and trying a few different things and now you're doing better sleeping from around 8pm-12 midnight, eating your midnight snack, sleeping again from 1am-4am or so, eating breakfast, and then taking a two hour nap until about 6am. If you could keep this schedule, it would be GREAT!

+ You love bath time! And you look so cute in your little hooded towels for it:

+ We took you for a stroll around our building, you weren't quite sure what to think of that just yet.

+ Yesterday you played with your first toy, your floor mat! You were so cute trying to figure out how it worked.

+ You love snuggling with Mommy and Daddy. It is the best [and sometimes, the only] way to get you to fall asleep.

+ You're a good eater and eat consistently now about 3 ounces every four hours.

+ As for Mommy, she is still recovering from her c-section. She is still pretty sore when she gets up and down, but doing a little better every day. Her swelling has gone down a TON in her hands and ankles, and yesterday she was able to put back on her wedding rings for the first time in months!

+ You are lighting up our lives so much! We love you little man. :) We are enjoying every moment with you watching you grow!

Love, Mommy
