2 Weeks Old

I am two weeks old today!  

I went to a breastfeeding support group with my mom on Tuesday and I weighed 8lbs 6 oz!  I surpassed my birthweight and then some. 

At that class they weighed me before and after my feeding and eat about 4oz at a feeding,  I'm a growing boy!

My mom and dad went on their first date since I was born.  It may have been just to Firehouse Subs, but it was a start.  

My GG kept me and I was good!

I also went on several walks...including my first with Blakely and Tiger!

 I now sleep in my own crib.  This is so much better because I'm not waking my parents up and they don't wake me up.

I sleep in 3.5 hour stretches at night and eat in between.  Overall I am a good sleeper!

My usual schedule during the day is eating every 2.5-3 hours with a small period of alertness and "playtime" afterwards.  I usually just hangout with mom during this time or I will lay on my Boppy under my play mat and stare at my toys.  I then take a nap for about 1.5 hours, usually in my Mamaroo.

I go through lots and lots of diapers!  Daddy has learned that it is a bit different changing a boy diaper.  Unfortunately he has learned this the hard way several times.  For some reason I only like to pee on daddy :)  

I had my first outings this week.  I went to the breastfeeding group in Mt. Pleasant and then to Subway with GG and mommy.  I also went into a store and did a little bit of shopping, too.  I was a good boy!  Later in the week I went to chick-fil-a with mommy, Aunt Lauren, Blakely, and GG.   It was crazy, but a much needed outing for mommy's sanity!

Mommy realized how hard it is to take pictures of a 2 week old :)  This is the best she can do!

Happy 2 weeks old baby boy!  This week we have definitely been finding our "groove" and things are getting a little bit easier.  Everyday we love you more and more, Banks!  We can't imagine our life without you and you are the perfect addition to our family.
