Wow! It's hard to believe Nathan is 2-weeks-old! Time is already flying by and he is growing so fast. At his 2-week doctor visit yesterday, he weighed 8 pounds, 5 ounces and measured 20.5 inches (45th percentile for both weight and length). His pediatrician said he looked wonderful. He continues to be a sleepy baby, but his wakeful periods are getting a little longer now. When he is awake, he's very content. Tim joked that Tyler cried more in one day than Nathan has cried in his first 2 weeks. Nathan had been spitting up a lot over the weekend, but we think he might have just been eating too much too fast. I started burping him a lot throughout his feedings and we haven't had any big spit-ups since.
Today I was telling Tyler that he and his brother will share a room when Nathan gets bigger. Apparently Tyler wanted to share something with Nathan right then because he immediately ran to his room and grabbed 2 tractors. He took them both to where Nathan was sleeping in our room and explained to his sleeping brother that one was "my kacker" (that's how he says tractor) and the other was "Nate kacker". Tyler was holding out Nate's tractor in front of Nathan's face to give it to him. I told him to just lay the tractor on the blanket until Nate woke up. Sure enough, when his brother finally woke up, I heard Tyler saying, "wake up" and found him trying to hand Nate the tractor again. I thought it was sweet that Tyler was so willing to share with his little brother. Tyler may still be new at the big brother thing, but his mom thinks he's off to a great start.
