2 Weeks Old

Little Ted had his 2 week doctor's visit yesterday. He got a clean bill of health from the doctor. He has grown (no surprise to those of us who are part of his regular feeding duty) and currently weighs in at 7 lbs, 9 oz. He's still at 21 inches in length, though we think he may be longer (or maybe he just stretches out more than he used to).

All in all, he was pretty mellow at the doctor's office, even when he had his second PKU testing (required by the state). He didn't cry when the nurse pricked his heel, and he didn't really care that she had to squeeze it for a while to draw enough blood for the test. Mom and dad were happy about this - we didn't want to be left with a screaming baby at the end of our visit. Little Ted should be through with doctor's visits until his 2 month check up in September.

Here's a recent photo of Little Ted - he looks so peaceful when he sleeps, but you'd better keep that pacifier nearby just in case he wakes up and is looking for it!
