Kieran-You are already two weeks old and in some ways it feels like you arrived yesterday and in others it feels like you've been with us for a long time. Either way we love having you here with us! We took you to the Dr. today and you surpassed your birth weight. You now weigh 7 lbs. 14 oz. (38%) and grew an inch in a little over a week. Coming in at the (82%) you are 21 1/4 inches long. Our guess is that won't last too long:) You are still wearing newborn clothes and diapers and nursing every 2-2.5 hours during the day and every 3-4 hours at night. You nurse/eat very quickly and finish anywhere from 8-10 minutes. It took Svea months to get to that point. Mom had to ask the Dr. if this was ok because she was not used to it:) You still like to be swaddled, but it's a little more difficult to get you into it. You've literally only spit up substantially twice, although last night you had your first bout with gas. You cried and writhed in pain for a good solid two hours. Mom and Dad took turns trying to get you in a comfortable position so you could fall asleep. Mom will watch what she eats a little more closely. We think I may have had too much chocolate and tomatoes. I'm sorry little guy:( You finally fell asleep, but we put you in an incline sleeper to help instead of flat on your back. You have a very easy going personality. You rarely cry so far and when you are awake you like to look around and make goofy faces at us. You are starting to grasp objects such as our fingers and a ball that we place near your hands.
