2 Week Check Up

Reese had his two week check up today (although he is more like 2.5 weeks old by now). He is up to 7lbs 12oz! He is 21 inches long. Here is how he has lost and gained weight so far:

Birth (2/5) - 7lbs 2 oz, 20.5 inches
Hospital Discharge (2/6) - 6lbs 11oz
Dr.'s Visit (bilirubin level and weight check on 2/8) - 6lbs 6oz
Dr.'s Visit (weight check on 2/13) - 6lbs 12oz
Dr.'s Visit (2 week check up 2/23) - 7lbs 12oz, 21 inches

I wanted to list it out more so I don't forget, but it is kind of interesting to see. I can't believe he gained a whole pound in 10 days!! And he grew a half an inch since he was born.

Also, Clayton seems to be warming up to Reese even more. For several days now, if Reese cries, Clayton says "Reese?" over and over until I go fix him. Last night, Reese was in his bouncy seat and after supper Clayton tried to give him hugs (laying his head down on him, the same way he does to the cats). I turned the video camera on, but I missed the best of it! Then today when I got home from Reese's Dr. appointment, Clayton was rubbing Reese's hair. It was really sweet! Then later this morning, Reese's pacifier fell out of his mouth (he didn't need it anymore, he was sleeping) and Clayton said Uh oh! Then he picked it up (and I figured it was to take it for himself) but he tried to put it back in Reese's mouth. It was so heart warming. Clayton is turning out to be such a caring big brother for being such a little guy himself, Mommy is so proud!
