Sam- 2 Weeks Old

We went for Sam's 2 week check up today and everything looks great! He has surpassed his birth weight by almost a pound. He weighed in today at 7 lbs, 10 oz and was still 20 inches long.

We don't really have much of a schedule these days, but I am starting to see a trend with the times he eats. He eats about every 3 hours, give or take a little bit. He only stays awake for maybe an hour at the most, and naps anywhere and everywhere. I usually let him nap on the couch or on his Boppy pillow, and save the crib for night time. We swaddle him at night, but not during the day. He seems to like the swaddle right now, but sometimes fights to get his arms out.

We put him down for bed around 10, and he is usually up between 1 and 2, and again between 4 and 5. Luckily, he goes right back to sleep after I feed him- sometimes WHILE I feed him. That's probably our biggest challenge right now- keeping him awake while he eats.

Will is doing so great with him. Any time he fusses, Will stops what he's doing and goes to him and says, "Don't worry, your bruder is here!" Instead of being excited to see me or Jeff when he gets home from daycare or school, he always looks for and asks about Sam first. It's pretty sweet :)

Just some quick updates about our newest addition!
