Lily- 2 Weeks!

My little girl is already 2 weeks! I feel like she has always been with us! She is such a good little baby. We can't get enough! We went to the doctors today and things went well. I don't necessary like my doctor and will probably switch eventually, but he gets the job done. I wish he would let me ask more questions. Oh well..


2 Week Stats:
9 lbs 7.5oz (9 at birth)
21.5 in (20.5 at birth)


She is growing like a champ! Akoy was at birth weight at 2 weeks and had grown 1/2 an inch. They were the same height at birth.


Lily has been nursing great. This is one thing that I really worried about. I had a hard time with Akoy and just resulted in pumping because I was going to have to pump for work anyways. I am so glad that she caught onto that track. She has been sleeping great at night. We have had a couple off nights, and I think it was because of something I ate. Last night was a little rough and she didn't fall into a deep sleep until 2. I was up with her a lot pacing around or feeding her. I ran out of milk and tried to give her a bottle, but she wouldn't take it.  She was so stuffed up and wouldn't sleep for long. I finally fell asleep on the couch with her. We woke up to Bryson showering at 7. Not to bad after all. She always sleeps better when I am next to her. A couple of nights I have fallen asleep next to her in bed trying to get her to sleep and don't realize it for awhile. We usually put her down at 11:30 when we go to sleep. She sleeps before that but doesn't usually have her pj's on. She will sleep until 5 or 6 when either I wake her up or she will wake up to eat. Then goes back down for a few hours. She is still in that newborn stage where she sleeps practically all day. Lily is stubborn and rarely gives us a burp.


Akoy has been a great big brother. His favorite thing is to give me a diaper, wipes and cream for her 'bum.' He knows when I lay her on the floor that it is changing time. He runs over and gets all the stuff for me. He has asked to hold her a few times. Every morning he goes around the house until he sees baby. Hopefully he will be good with her now that all the grandparents are gone and I have to share the attention.


Just waking up from a nap


2 Weeks


Taking a nap in the swing. (most of her time is spent here)


She always has her hands like this.


Spending time with Grandpa


Grandma time


Daddy time
I'll spare you the pictures of mommy time... :) Mommy time is mostly Lily eating.


Since I am not doing month to month updates on Akoy, I want to include random things he does with Lily's entry's. Akoy is starting to understand his ABC's and numbers. He has known some of the sounds for awhile, but I think it's more memorization. He calls all abc's,  B's and all the numbers are 2. He won't say a lot of numbers, mostly just two. He always points out the B's or 2's on our shirts or when we are out and about. It is fun to see his brain start working and thinking about things. He also calls all the colors Blue. He refuses to say any other color. We tried so hard this week to teach him to say green. We point to something green and ask him what color it is. He replies 'blue' and then laughs.
