2 weeks

I forgot to post this last week. 

Amelia was 2 weeks last Thursday. She is a precious child and she very rarely cries (knock on wood this lasts). She has a very easy temperament. She loves when she is held, but she is also just as happy in her bassinet either swaddled or not. She spends lots of time sleeping and she eats quite well.

She managed to get up to her exact 7lbs 8oz birth weight 8 days after being born. On her 2 week birthday she weighted 8lbs4oz. That is almost 2 oz of weight per day. The doctor actually thought this was too much weight and is contributing to some acid reflux issues. 
Below are some photos. 



 Amelia enjoys:
- Laying on the changing table looking at the trees outside
- Being held by anyone, but especially Papa Doug if she is fussy
- The moby(mostly) and the stroller --she spends the entire time asleep in these
- Nursing
- Her bassinet and plascinet (more about this in a separate post)
- Sleeping lots

Amelia can:
- Sometimes grab her brother's finger. Stanley is very cute saying "Baby hold on to my finger baby" and repeating it over and over till she finally holds on.
- Smile once in a while, though I'm pretty sure it is just a reflex
- Look around for about 30 minutes at a time, particularly in the evening
- Sleep up to 4.5 hours (it only happened for 2 nights, but I'll take what we can get) The rest of the night is around 3 hour stretches
- Cover everyone she comes near in spit up
- Get a lot of attention wherever we go from anyone over 2 years old
