Ben had his 2-week appointment Monday. The weight goal is for babies to be back at their birth weight by 2 weeks. Well, Ben never lost any weight AND he’s put on 1lb 4oz! We figured he’d be higher in weight because he nurses so often and for so long each time but I had no idea he would have gained that much!! It took Elizabeth about six weeks to get that much higher than her birth weight.
Ben gets bright eyes and turns his head to look for Elizabeth when she talks. When the Brookovers brought Elizabeth to the hospital after he was born, he even did this! We figure she has been right at belly-height the entire time in womb, so with all the talking she does, he probably heard her voice more than anyone else’s!!
Elizabeth is very interested in all things diaper-related. She wants to be the one to get clean diapers. And she always wants to know what is inside the dirty diaper!
Elizabeth got her first “big girl” bike today. She was quickly outgrowing the tricycle. She’s doing pretty well with it. She hasn’t quite gotten the hang of stopping yet. And she forgets that trying to pedal backwards stops the bike. She & Jim went on three rides today. I have pictures but haven’t uploaded them yet.
I have added new pictures:
