Two Week Check Up!

Cole had his two week check up with the pediatrician today and got a gold star for health. His last weigh in (on Jan. 15) he was 6 lbs, 1 oz. Today he was up to 6 lbs, 14 oz! A gain of 13 oz. in 11 days! He also has grown 3/4 of an inch since birth.

He is keeping us up a bit more at night, but we are learning to adjust. It is nice to have him more alert- we spend more time looking at one another, singing, and Cole gets little baby massages to make him happy. They also make his belly happy - he has had a bit of a gas problem which makes him uncomfortable.

Cole's Aunt Erin also recommended a great carrier to keep Cole in during the day when I need "hands free" time. Cole seems to like it and I am getting used to carrying him around like a kangaroo!

Glad things are going well!! Carriers are the best. Babies love and benefit from the contact. I still use my beco butterfly carrier with Eóin.
