Two Week Checkup

Kyler snoozing with his G.G. (Great Grandma Weber).

Kyler will be two weeks old tomorrow. He had his doctor visit today and did great once again. He is in the 50th percentile in all categories. He weighs 7 pounds 7 ounces and is 20 inches long. So he has almost gained a whole pound since he was born and regained (and maintained) the weight he had initially lost very quickly. We are happy to hear that he is eating well and is as average as can be in terms of size.

Kyler has been staying awake a little more each day. He really likes being in his carseat since it usually means we are on the move and he sleeps almost the entire time we are driving. When we are home he spends a lot of time in his pack-n-play sleeping or looking around at some of his brightly colored toys. Occasionally he lays on his activity mat and looks at the toys hanging down from above and once in a while he can be soothed asleep in his bouncer which vibrates.

K-Man loved listening to Great Grandpa Weber - he was moving those arms!

The little man is pretty strong for being less than two weeks old. He kicks around and moves his arms a lot. The other night we put him to bed and when I got up to feed him, he had moved 90 degrees on his back so that he was perpendicular to the crib. He is also able to move his legs around and kick one leg over the other so that he is lying on his side. And his neck is pretty strong. He will hold his head up and turn it side to side when we are holding him.

This past weekend we traveled to Wichita to Brett's parents' house and then rode with them to his cousin Anna's wedding near Great Bend. Kyler did great and I was actually the one who got tired and crabby. On Sunday several other family members were able to meet Kyler at the Memorial Day get-together.

This week we will have both sets of grandparents visiting. My family is coming tomorrow evening to spend the night for an appointment my brother has in the area. Then on Thursday and Friday night Brett's parents will be in town to help his brother move.

I almost forgot to mention that we are now using the cloth diapers. They are pretty bulky right now but they get the job done. So no more buying diapers! (Well, we will buy some to have on hand for traveling, etc. but not many.) Now Brett has to learn to change a cloth diaper... we'll see how long that takes.
