2 Weeks Old

We just had Jack's 2 week appointment today.  He now weighs 7lbs 8.5oz and is 20 inches long.  He has a hard time sleeping in his own bed and wakes up after just 30 minutes of being there.  But if I let him sleep on my chest, he'll sleep for a good 2 or 3 hours. Not ideal, but I'll take it.  He loves being on his side and will roll onto it automatically if we lay him in our bed.  He has his infamous "OH" face that he makes when he is starting to wake up.  It's my favorite.  He smiles occasionally but mostly in his sleep, but it's still oh so cute.  He hates having his arms tucked in when we swaddle him.  He fights and fights until he gets his arms free.  He use to scream sooo bad when we changed his diapers but I think he's getting more use to it now.  He has breast feed fine from the beginning but would just fall asleep quickly while he ate.  Now he's staying awake longer and is therefore eating and sleeping better.  He's been kind of fussing these last couple of days, but we think it's just gas and have been giving him gas drops.  It seems to be doing the trick... temporarily. Lol.

I can't get enough of him.  I constantly kiss his cheeks, nose, and lips.  I can't help myself.  Alex's dad thinks I'm "sucking the life out of him". Lol oh well.   I'm going to do it until he gets old enough and it embarrasses him... and I'm probably gonna do it even then.  ;)

Alex loves his little boy.  He reads to him and talks to him all the time.  It's adorable.  He has been such an amazing help.  I can honestly say that he has changed more dirty diapers than I have... it's great.  He is just the best and you can tell he loves Jack sooo much.

Pebbles doesn't really know what to think.  She is not use to not being on the bed or couch with us as much as she was before and is desperate for attention.  But she is still a good girl and is just curious.  We let her sniff Jack and see him but that's it... obviously.  I can't wait till they can play together.

We have a great life.  =)

"Oh" face!
