Happy 2 week birthday!!

Ethan is already 2 weeks old, time is flying by so fast.  We are definitely enjoying this time with him and not looking forward to Jed going back to work on Monday.

We went in to the breastfeeding clinic on Tuesday and he weighed 10 lbs 2.9 oz!  He had gained 5 oz in 3 days and was almost 5 oz past his birth weight!!  Grow baby grow!!

The last 3 nights have been fantastic, for two nights he slept from 11-5:30 and last night was 10:30-4:30, I am definitely enjoying some uninterrupted sleep!!  He had his first bottle with my milk two nights ago as we need to make sure he will take a bottle when I go to work next Wednesday for the first day of school.  He did great with it and is eating a ton.  He is napping well in the morning and early afternoon, but then is awake for a lot of the evening.  He is really starting to fight sleep sometimes, so we are working with that. It usually takes us a good hour or so to get him down for the night, but last night he did better, so hopefully we are making progress there.

Jed and I enjoyed an hour out of the house last night while Ethan stayed home with Jed's mom.  While it was nice to get out of the house, I sure missed our baby boy! 

Ethan is a champ at tummy time.  He has such a strong neck already and is holding it up for a few seconds and turning it quite easily.  This is great as we have already found him on his side twice in the bassinet in the morning!


We decided that tonight will be the first night for him to sleep in the cradle.  He is just getting too big for the bassinet.  While he may not look like it in that picture, since he likes to move his arms and legs a lot during the night he hits the sides all the time!

Enjoy the pictures!

  1. Isn't it amazing how much they have changed in 2 weeks? We are dealing with some fussiness with brycen so we are trying to figure that out. His cord is hanging on by a thread...we can't wait to give him a real bath! All in all, I wouldn't trade this for anything in the world!
