2 Weeks

Doing what they do best...James is talking and Jack is yawning

Jack is two weeks old today! Here is a list about my little, little man...the newest love of my life!

1. Jack weighs 7 lbs now! He dropped to 6 even when he was 3 days old and has gained a pound in the last 11 days! Yea! Such a good feeling to know that he is eating well.

2. He is 19.5 inches long. 10th % for head, weight, and height.

3. He is a pooping machine. I think that God's sense of humor in letting us know that all is well with his bowels (see earlier posts if you don't know what I'm talking about). The first 24 hours, he had about 5 dirty diapers, when they're only expected to have around 1-2!

4. He is a big time cuddle bug. If he is swaddled, he is happy. If he is snuggled up against you, he is good for a really long time!

5. I think we have another angel baby. He seems to be so relaxed, calm, peaceful, and easy going.

6. He likes to be sung to. He gets completely still when I start singing.

7. He has given us some 4 hour stretches of sleep at night, but at night he usually eats every 2-3 hours and then goes right back to sleep. We have had a few rough nights, though, when he won't stay in his bassinett. This wouldn't be so bad, but his big brother has regressed and is also having sleep issues, so we're getting up way too much right now!

8. He has the sweetest voice and makes the sweetest little sounds. He has cooed a few times and has the most pitiful, soft cry.

9. He started tracking when he was just a few days old! He is starting to look lovingly at me and focus more.

10. He has strong neck muscles and likes to move his head around.

11. He has the sweetest, softest, best smelling skin that I can't get enough of!

12. He has the tiniest little facial features and just looks like a little baby doll to me.

I'm so thankful to God for my little Jack!
