"Awesome Big Brother"
Karis' first bath
Enoch's crazy hair (due to the humidity + sweat)

And just a few notes about the first two weeks that I want to remember-
- She was a sleepy, sleepy baby for the first 2 weeks! We had to work really hard at waking her to eat for most feedings.
- She has been a good nurser, and at her 2 week check up she weighed in at 8 lbs 1 ounce (she was 7 lbs, 2 oz at birth).
- Each time I nurse Karis, it takes about 1 hour because she likes to burp about 3-4 times per feeding (nurse 5 minutes, burp for 10 minutes, repeat) and she sometimes requires 2 diaper changes.
- I again have an over-abundance of milk, so I started only feeding her on one side per feeding a few days after my milk came in (which happened on day 2).
- Wet & poopy diapers abounded, coming in at 6-9 per day after the first few days of meconium.
- Karis loves being held and sung to (Granny Sandy did lots of singing to her).
- She is notorious for pooping & peeing while being changed.. In fact, she's actually peed on my phone once now (TMI??).
- Enoch has enjoyed being a big brother for the most part. He likes to alert us anytime she makes a noise by saying "bah-bah", and he really likes watching her/trying to touch her. He also enjoys bringing me things for her (whether I ask for them or not). :)
- He's definitely realized that she is taking away some of his attention, but I think he's done a good job adjusting to that, and we try to be sure that he gets some mama and daddy time everyday.
