Week Two

   

Elliott is starting to get the hang of being a human. He doesn’t always scream when we change his diaper now and he’s starting to like bath time. Ever since his umbilical cord fell off and we can put him under water completely, he seems to really like it. It relaxes him, but as soon as you take him out he starts to cry until he’s wrapped up in his towel. He’s getting stronger and stronger every day! We can really see it when he’s on the floor for tummy time. He sleeps through the night really well. He usually only wakes up one or two times a night. He’s getting a lot better at eating, too. My favorite thing about him is how cuddly he is. He loves to cuddle. One morning he was being fussy and I couldn’t figure out why. He had just eaten, been burped, and had a clean diaper. He was laying in his crib and usually he just falls asleep on his own, but not this time. I picked him up to lay in bed with him and he fell right to sleep. All he needed was a cuddle buddy. He's the sweetest! At his two week appointment he was 9 lbs 4 oz and 21.5 inches. His doctor was so amazed at how mature he is for his age. She said he is so much more alert than most babies at two weeks. She also said they usually worry about babies regaining their birth weight, but he did all that and more! He is healthy and we feel so blessed to have such a perfect little (big) boy!
