Baby A's 2-Week Checkup

Today, Baby A had his 2-week appointment. His pediatrician is amazing and I love taking him to see her! To get him ready, we bathed him and clipped his fingernails for the first time and got him all dressed up. I put him in the same outfit we attempted to have him wear home from the hospital two weeks ago and it's finally looking like it sorta fits! I tried to get a picture of him but he was so tired that this is the result:

Some things about him:
  • Weight: He is up to 7 pounds on the dot! At 5-days old, he was only weighing in at 5 lbs. 14 oz. In just under 2 weeks, he's gained more than a pound! He's such a good eater and it's great to see he's gaining weight so well.
  • Height: He is 20" tall. He's grown two inches in two weeks!
  • Diaper Size: Newborn. And they are finally fitting well enough that he's not leaking through them constantly!
  • Clothing Size: Newborn. He's always been too tall for premie clothes, but newborn clothes seemed to drown him. He always curls his legs up but he's finally getting tall enough that when he stretches his legs out, they are fitting all the way to the bottom of his jammies!
  • Likes: Eating, sleeping, staring at lights, eating more, constantly dirtying diapers, going for rides in the car, being held, sleeping more, and eating again.
  • Dislikes: Having his diaper changed, being set in his crib, and having his boogers sucked out.
