2 Weeks

Dear Presley Elizabeth,
Yesterday you turned 2 weeks old. My how time flies! You have certainly changed from a week ago. Diaper changes are much nicer. In fact, you now like to sprawl out on your back completely naked. Bath time is also getting easier. You still fuss a little, but not until the very end. Shampooing your hair is hilarious. You absolutely love it! As soon as I start rubbing your tiny head you completely relax. In fact, your usually so relaxed that your eyes roll back, and then you poop all over your towel. Speaking of poop, you have that mastered. You poop and toot more than any baby I know. I think you even have your cousin, Jackson, beat in that department. Getting dressed is fine until I have to pull something over your head. This makes Mommy sad because I love to dress you up in all your cute outfits. Hopefully, you will get over that very soon. You also recognize our voices now, and you stare up at us with those big baby blues when we are talking.
Mimi came to visit you for a few days, and figured out a way to get you to sleep better through the night. Your new bed is the infant lamb seat from Aunt Melissa, ,and then we swaddle you very tight in your favorite blanket. So far I have gotten a few 4 hour stretches of sleep. Thank you, Mimi!
Mimi and I took you to your two week appointment and got great news! The doctor was impressed with how much you have been growing. You now weigh 7lbs. 15.5 ounces, and have surpassed your birth weight. You are also 21 inches long, so you grew half an inch. Your head, however, is very tiny. This you get from your mommy and Mimi. Your official stats are 75th percentile for height, 50th percentile for weight, and a measly 25th percentile for your head. After all of the measuring and weighing, they had to stick your tiny heel...twice. Then they had to squeeze your heel to get the blood out. You were so upset and it was HORRIBLE to watch. After your appointment, we took you on your first mall trip! You did amazing and let us shop for almost 4 hours. You must have known you were going to get some adorable new clothes.
You get more and more beautiful everyday. In fact, that's pretty much all daddy says when he see's you. He will just sit and stare at your sweet face, and tell you how beautiful you are. It completely melts my heart. We love you so much little one, and can't wait to see what next week brings.
