Two Weeks

Logan is two weeks old today- time is just flying by! He went for his two week checkup today, and the doctor confirmed what we already knew- Logan is perfect! Our completely biased opinion is that he is the most beautiful, smartest, and sweetest baby ever born. Here are his statistics:

Weight: 9 lbs., 9 oz. (79th percentile)


Height: 21 1/2 inches (89th percentile)


Head Circumference: 38 cm (81th percentile)

The doctor told us that the goal at 2 weeks is to be back at his birth weight, and Logan is 9 ounces above that. So, he is eating very well! He measured 21 1/2 inches long, compared to measuring 20 1/4 at the hospital. We think the hospital did not measure correctly because he looked so long from the beginning. Either that, or he is growing like crazy and has grown 1 1/4 inches in only two weeks!

Here are some things we have already learned about our sweet Logan:

- he has two dimples (one on each cheek) like his mother
- he can already turn on both sides
- he loves to have his arms free and sleeps with them above his head most of the time
- he likes to be held
- nothing wakes him up until he is ready, especially during the day
- he likes being outside--- we can take him outside when he is crying and he usually stops (at least temporarily)
- he loves to stretch and does so very often
- he loves his swing and his bouncy seat
- he also likes music and being sung to

Logan is a very happy baby and usually only cries when something is wrong. Usually the "something wrong" has to do with either hunger or him preparing a dirty diaper for his parents. We love him so much and enjoy taking care of him and seeing what new things he does each day.
