We had Kyson's 2 week doctors visit today to check his growth and do his PKU test. At his 3 day visit he had lost almost a pound (down to 5 pounds 14 ounces) so I was a little bit worried about him eating enough and gaining weight.
Luckily though this little man loves to eat!! At his 2 week visit he weighed in at 7 pounds 9 ounces (11%) and is 21.5 inches long (81%)...tall and skinny!! The doctor said "Well that's about the max amount we expect babies to gain in their first 2 weeks...its equivalent to about 1 1/2 ounces a day. So yeah keep doing what your doing!" He is such a mellow baby that he hardly cried when the nurse did his PKU test...one little squeak when she initially poked him and then he fell asleep!
Ky still has a little bit of reflux...nothing too serious but he is definitely my most spitty baby and we have a had a few of those fun spit ups where he spits everything he just ate (and when you are nursing that is terrible!) Hopefully he will just grow out of it as he gets bigger!
At 2 weeks Kyson:
-Eats about 7 times a day, is still in his newborn clothes and now wears size 1 diapers.
-Kyson had his tongue clipped a few hours after he was born because he was super tongue tied...couldn't move his tongue hardly at all...luckily he has much more movement now and is nursing better everyday!
-Kyson had his tongue clipped a few hours after he was born because he was super tongue tied...couldn't move his tongue hardly at all...luckily he has much more movement now and is nursing better everyday!
-Initially looked more like Paxton but is now starting to take on his own look...he is built more like Tegan with a long torso and bigger hands and feet.
-Sleeps a 5 hour stretch at night, gets up to eat and then sleeps for another 3-4 hours. When he wakes up at night to eat he is usually up for about an hour but sometimes he wants to hang out and is up for 2!
-Loves to be cuddled and swaddled and loves to have a blanket with him at all times.
-Gets the hiccups after almost every feeding and a few other times during the day
-Is getting better at making eye contact and tracking people.
-Puts up well with his brothers...Pax loves to kiss his head and Tegan loves to "talk at him
and he just lets them!
and he just lets them!
