Ezra at Two Weeks

We took Ezra to his two week doctor appointment today and had a very successful visit. Successful for a few reasons: One-Ezra is a healthy boy, two-he did not have any shots, and three-he gained back his birth weight. . . and more! All newborns lose weight from birth to leaving the hospital (Ezra weighed 8lbs 5oz at birth and 7 lbs 14 oz when we left the hospital). I guess a good guide for newborns is that by the time they are two weeks old the newborn weighs at least his birth weight. Ezra weighed 8lbs 14oz today, so he's gained an entire pound! Also, the nurse measured him at 20.5 in. That means he has grown an entire inch as well. Aside from waking up to eat at night, he has been quite a good baby.

Moses love holding Ezra. We are so thankful that he has done quite well with adjusting to a new baby. He has only told me twice to put Ezra down so I can hold him instead :-)

Yesterday, we had a visit from my Aunt Mary, cousin Sarah, and Sarah's daughter Ellasyn. It was a great day catching up and meeting Ellasyn. Moses spent the day protecting us as a Roman soldier.
