2 Weeks Old...

Love this little man!
Eli had his two week appointment and the boy is growing!!!
In the 6 days since he last visited the doctor's office, he had gained 1.3 lbs and grown over an inch. Most newborns his age are consuming ~20 oz of breast milk/formula in a day. Our line backer guzzles down between 24 and 32 oz a day! It makes for some really entertaining farts, but he sleeps and naps like a champ, so I'm not complaining in the least. A full baby, is a happy baby!
Mother Hen...
Addie has never, and I mean never, played with dolls. In fact, this is the only doll she owns. Her name is Baby... original I know. Addie obviously didn't check the census list of most popular names for baby dolls before deciding on this one. But lo and behold, she is very much interested in everything a mother does these days in regards to feeding, changing, rocking and caring for a baby. We are defiantly experiencing some monkey see, monkey do behavior these days. Baby doll is making up for lost time and enjoying Addie's new found love of "mommyhood." Addie is an amazing kid and an even more amazing big sister!
