2 week checkup

Bennett went in for his 2 week check up on May 30th.  He was the the old guy in the waiting room that morning, there were three other babies there for jaundice checks.  Where else can you go and be the oldest at 2 weeks old?

Bennett looked great!  He was up to 7lbs 9oz - 19%, 20.5 in - 43%, and his head was 14in  - 21%.  He screamed for a good few minutes after they did his PKU test, I can't wait until he gets his shots! 

When the doctor checked him he pulled off his belly button cord - I had always been told don't do this, let it come of on it's own.  Grace and Max's both fell off between 7-9 days, but he just looked at it, said it was barely hanging on and pulled it off.  Bring on bath time!  Bennett does not like his sponge sink baths!



At two weeks Bennett is sleeping much better!  He's only waking up once per night, I feed him around 10pm and then he gets up between 2-230 and then will sleep until 6 or 7.  I can handle that!  He is still the slowest eater I've ever met and takes around an hour to drink 2 oz.

Aw he is SO cute! Looks like the other two-maybe a good mix with a little of his own look in there too :) I love babies! I cant wait to see him and you of course too :)
