2 Week Check Up

Yes, that is a manly blue package covering Wesley’s ‘package’. It was too cute of a picture not to share… but I didn’t think everyone on the web needed/wanted to see what he’s ‘packin’.
Anyway, today Wes had his 2 week doctor checkup. It went great! He has grown an inch, his head has grown an ½ inch and he has gained 8 ounces. So he is now 20 inches long, his head is 13.58 and he weighs a whooping 7 pounds 6.3 oz! He is nice and strong and is starting to push up with his legs when you stand in upright. He loves tummy-time and will lift and turn his head on his own. He is still way mellow, and is an all-around happy man. The past two days he has been trying to up my milk supply, so he’s wanting to eat every 2 hours (almost on the dot) even at night (Not nearly as fun as the 4 hour sleeping stents he was doing)… but at least he goes right back to sleep when he is full.
Mallory is still being wonderful with him, though she is too helpful at times and we constantly have to remind her to be gentle, or not to cover him with blankets, not to steal his blankets from him, not to drop books on him and not to shove his pacifier in his mouth! But at least there has yet to be any resentment or mean play (fingers crossed).
