It's hard believe that our little angel is 2 weeks old already. The past two weeks have taught us what true love and pure joy really feel like. We feel so blessed to be his parents and to enjoy his precious nature every day. He melts our hearts frequently and we just love being his parents!
Here are few things about Hayden at 2 weeks:
- He weighed 9 lbs 3 oz at his checkup on Thursday. So, he's back to his birth weight plus 4 oz.
- He smiles when he dreams, which just melts his Daddy's heart. We can't wait until he starts smiling for real.
- He is so gassy!
- He's a happy baby...Typically he only cries for a good reason, he's wet, dirty, cold, hungry etc. Sometimes he's fussy when he has gas, so we have to burp him quite a bit to help get all that gas out!
- He's love being swaddled and then put into one of the cocoons I made for him.
- He's trying so hard to put his hands in his mouth, but Mom keeps them covered so he won't scratch his face. He sure loves his pacifier though. He has a very strong sucking reflex which really comforts him.
- He loves kangaroo time with Mom and Dad. (Skin to Skin)
- He is a good sleeper! He's sleeping at night 4-5 hrs at a stretch. His current feeding schedule is 10pm, 2am, and 6am and he seems to know it pretty well. Some nights we have to wake him up for his 2am and 6am feeding, but most of the time he wakes up right on cue.
- He is getting really good at lifting up his head. He loves it when we hold him over our shoulder (mainly when we burp him) so he can see out the big bay window in the front of the house. He lifts his head up and likes to look at the light coming through the blinds.
Here's a few pictures of him at two weeks:
