2 Weeks Old

I cannot believe Eli is already 2 weeks old.  He is still sweet as ever, and is now enjoying the World Cup with his Dad ... well not sure who is enjoying it more, Derek or Eli?  Below are his 2 weeks stats from our pediatrician appointment.  He is still as healthy as can be and we will re-track everything at his one month appt.

1) 5lb 12.5 oz (by now I imagine he is at least back to birth weight - 5lb 14 oz).  He is tracking a weight gain of .5 oz a day which is very normal
2) 19.5" (grew an inch)
3) 35cm head circumference
4) He sucks on his knuckles or middle finger, and I think he is figuring out his thumb
5) Really only cries when he is being changed or during bath time - basically when he is cold and uncomfortable.
6) He gives us his "Popeye" face when feeding ... one eye open just looking around and observing everything with a little wrinkly forehead.
7) Loves to sleep on mom or dads chest if we let him - its so hard not to :)
8) Continuing tummy time on chest and couch.  He is so strong!!  He is turning his head all the time and will follow our voices.  He will also push his legs off our hands to scoot forward.  Of course Derek says this is good for soccer and running :)
9) Going through a growth spurt right now (at least I think).  Likes to feed at least every 1-1.5 hours, day and night.  This can get a little exhausting at night, but we are making it.  Hopefully this will only last 1 or 2 more days.
10) Still loves it when you sing to him.  He immediately stops crying - it is so sweet.  Love that he responds so well to music at such a young age.  We will definitely keep this going!
 This is one of the iron appliques that I put on his boring long sleeve white onesie.  Yay for the World Cup - this is the best that I can do at the moment until he gains a little more weight. :)
 We survived bath time by ourselves!
 So content after feeding.  I love his little hands and facial expressions.
Love my boys!  Chilling and watching the world cup
