Cullyn {2 Weeks}




You're 2 weeks old!!  Although it's gone so fast, I almost can't remember what our family was like before you arrived...you complete us!  There hasn't been much adjustment for anyone, you fit in so well.  You are a wonderful baby...you sleep 3-5 hour stretches, drink breastmilk & formula from the bottle, and eat 3 ounces every 3 hours. 



You love your stroller, baby carrier[s], swing, and of course our arms!  You don't really care for baths, diaper changes, or getting dressed!  :)  You wear size Newborn clothes & size Newborn diapers. 



As you can imagine, we've taken you out much more than we did Jordyn at your age.  You've been to the doctor, the mall, a girls afternoon, the park 3 or 4 times, out for ice cream, and the grocery store multiple times.



Although you're a very calm child 95% of the time, when you do cry you go from zero to ten in a millisecond!  You use a pacifier ['binky'] more than your sister.  I kind of wonder if you'll continue to use it.


Your sister is constantly checking on you; she must always know where you're at and is always giving you anything she can find that belongs to you.  She does not like it when you cry, in fact she starts crying too.  You have received approximately 308459490 kisses from your big sister...she simply cannot get enough of you!  






[Stats]
You weighed 7.5 lbs at birth, 6.14 lbs when we left the hospital [2 days old], 6.14 lbs at your first appointment [5 days old], and 8.6 lbs today at the doctor [17 days old].  You're now in the 38 percentile for weight.  You measured 19 inches tall at the hospital and 21 inches today, putting you in the 65th percentile for height.  Your head measures 14 1/4 inches and 55th percentile.
