2 Weeks Old!

Yesterday Jeremiah was 2 weeks old! It is so hard to believe that it was 2 weeks ago that he came into this world! Seems like SO long ago, yet not very long ago at all-- know what I mean? On a sidenote.... I wonder how many total hours of sleep we have gotten in the past 2 weeks. Hmmmm.

Anyway, we brought Jeremiah in for his 2 week check-up at the doctor's office yesterday. He is a whopping 9 lbs 5 oz and he has also grown 1/4 of an inch taller. He's in the 75th percentile for both height and weight-- not bad! He has surpassed his birthweight by 1 lb and 2 oz, so we must be doing something right! :) Here's a picture of him on the table at the doctor's office.... he's not much of a fan of being naked, but he did surprisingly well with the doctor. I am guessing it is because they keep those little examining rooms at a toasty 110 degrees. We ventured out to church last Sunday, and also to Panera with Grandma and Grandpa Wiers (Panera WILL become a favorite of Jeremiah's-- I'm sure of it!). Jeremiah did great at both places-- he was wide awake, listening intently during the sermon at church, and then he slept right through lunch at Panera (the best part, if you ask me!). Here's a picture of our happy little family on Sunday after church (minus Molly... she was there, just not in the pic). Jeremiah is just getting so big! He's becoming more aware of what is around him and he is staying awake more and more during the day. Yesterday he tried out his bouncey seat for the first time (I had been a little hesitant to try it, just because it gives Molly free access to lick Jeremiah all over). But I think Jeremiah liked the bouncey seat-- see for yourself! I think that's about it from the Wissink house for now. The temperature here this weekend is supposed to hit 50 degrees (woohoo!). We might have to break in the new stroller with a short walk around the block! We are eagerly awaiting the arrival of Auntie Abby-- Jeremiah and Molly are ready to be spoiled! :) I have a video of Jeremiah from yesterday, but can't seem to get it to upload. I think the file might be too big? I'll try to have my tech support (Adam) help me get it uploaded soon. Since I don't have the video, I'll leave you with a cute picture from bath time a few days ago.

  2. Thanks for the post, Rachel. I was definitely suffering from Jeremiah-withdrawal and was so happy to see some new pictures. How did it go with the bouncy seat---did Molly behave?
