Joseph’s 2 week check-up

The little guy gained 1 pound and 6 ounces over the last two weeks… That’s over an ounce and a half a day!!! The pediatrician was really impressed because at two weeks babies are only expected to be back to their birth weight… We can’t even be sure he lost any weight. I guess there’s NO question that he’s getting enough milk. He weighs 9 pounds, 9 ounces; I was hoping to be at 9 pounds so I was laughing when she just kept sliding the ounces over on the scale.

He’s also grown an inch and is at 21 inches tall from 20 at birth, and is ahead in a couple milestones like how far away he can follow an object, and how close he can focus his eyes. I guess there’s a lot to see with two interesting brothers running around.

He noticed his hands today… Hasn’t quite figured out what to do with them, but it was fun to see him stare at them. He’s got a strong neck and loves to keep it up as he looks around.

His dimple on his tail bone is less pronounced, and looking good, so hopefully before long it won’t be a problem at all.

He just is so perfect, there’s nothing to complain about. I’m not a doting proud mommy am I? Haha! I’m just loving this little guy to pieces. Each one of these boys is just so precious and wonderful they bring so much sunshine to my world.
