Charlie turned 2 weeks old on January 12th. I can't believe how fast the time is going. Papa and Gigi left to head back to Ohio on the 11th. We were all sad to see them go but enjoyed our time with them so much! We are already looking forward to them coming back to visit us for John's birthday in March.
We took Charlie for his 2 week checkup on Friday, January 13th. He weighed 9 lbs, 7 oz and was 21 1/2 inches long. The doctor said that he looks great. There are no lung issues and he is obviously growing well. The doctor said that a lot of big babies lose weight the first two weeks...not our boy! He will go back when he is 2 months old for his next check-up.
We had to start putting Charlie in size 1 diapers already! We switched him on January 7th. It made me a little sad to already have my baby out of newborn diapers. It wasn't too surprising that we had to switch him so quickly, though. In fact, they gave us a pack of size one diapers while we were in the hospital! I didn't even know they had anything other than newborn size in the nursery!
Charlie went to church for the first time on Sunday, January 8th. He slept pretty much the whole time! We went out to lunch afterwards at Pizza Hut which he also slept through.
The boys are still doing really well with him. They like to hold him and talk to him occasionally, but pretty much go on with their routine as if nothing has changed. It helps that they enjoy playing together so they don't feel left out when I am taking care of Charlie.
Here are a few pictures from the week. The picture at the top was taken on the 12th at 2 weeks old. He is trying to figure out how to suck his thumb. He almost has it figured out!
