Eli: Two Weeks Old!

Eli is two weeks old today! It kinda seems like he's been around forever, but at the same time he's still so new to us.

He's had two pediatrician's appointments so far. At his first, he was down 7 ounces from his birth weight, and at the second he had gained back 5 of those ounces! I'm sure by this point (a week after the last appointment) he's back up and over his birth weight! He nurses like a champ so I'm sure he'll be a little chunker before long. He got his first shot at the last appointment and he's decided he's not a fan of needles (he is his mother's son). He turned into a tiny, wailing ball of rage and sadness!

He sleeps pretty well at night, although there are exceptions to that rule. He much prefers sleeping in someone's arms to sleeping in a bed or a swing--he's gonna be spoiled rotten by all this attention! He doesn't have to go back to the pediatrician until he's a month old, which I'm sure he would be thrilled by if he knew he should be.

Yesterday was his first Halloween--he didn't go trick-or-treating, but we did put on his little costume! I knit the hat, which is just barely small enough to sort of fit his little head.
