Photos from the past 2 weeks

Although I have numerous posts I'm hoping to write regarding the past two weeks, time hasn't allowed me to complete them yet.  I don't want to keep depriving our family of pictures though, so to fill the gap, here are a few more photos from the past two weeks...

"Awesome Big Brother"

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.
