Jake and His Brother AJ at 2 Weeks

Wow my little guy is already 2 weeks old...its just so amazing how quickly the time goes. But AJ is doing great. We took him to his well baby appointment this week and he is already 10 lbs 8 oz and 22 3/4" long...yes he hit his first growth spurt. Probably not 100% correct as measuring newborns is quite difficult but I believed it more when we put on a onesie he had worn when he came home from the hospital...and it did not fit nearly as well. hehe (you can see it in the last picture...the "automatic sprinkler" one...stretched a bit from the neck now) But he is also starting to sleep better...2 out of the last 3 nights he slept in 4 hour increments which was a wonderful blessing. He is such a mellow and happy little baby and we feel really really blessed. And his big brother Jake is really starting to have a soft spot towards him. The other morning my mom brought AJ down and Jake would not calm down until he was able to give his little brother a kiss. So sweet. :) But below is what you are looking for...pictures!!! :)
I thought you were supposed to be blessed with a child who stayed where you put them when you had a newborn. This little guy already figured out how to wiggle out of his sleep positioner.

Daddy LOVES his boys. :)

Hehe...the other night Jake wanted to cuddle with me and 3 of his buddies...it was quite humorous to watch. :)

Ahhhh Jake sharing one of his toys with his little brother.

....wonder how long this wonderful sharing will last. :)

".....umm....I think this Lamby is staring at me."

Yes!!!!!! We wanted to give Jake time to warm up to his brother before we introduced him to holding him. Here are a couple pictures of the first time. Sooooooo cute. :)

I am really looking forward to watching these two grow up together.

I am amazed by this little guys neck strength...sure his head is a lot smaller than his brother's was...but still...two weeks old!!!

This is classic if you remember Jake when he was AJ's age. Jake loved to grab hold of his hair while he was laying in his pack n play....and here his little brother is doing the same time...there are times where I think AJ is Jake's little clone. :)

Lol...here is Jake being Mommy's Helper and bringing me the Boppy to feed AJ. :D

....although he got a little sidetracked and realized it also made a great neck pillow. :)

My strong little boy. :)

Ahhhh...sleeping babies are so adorable.

"Is it me or did this fit me better two weeks ago?" "But I am really still very cute!" :D

As for the whole family we are doing great. My mom has continued to stay with us and has been a total lifesaver, playing with Jake and getting up with him every morning, taking care of the house and the cooking and cleaning and of course helping with little AJ. So wonderful to have her help. Ryan has one week of work left before he takes his time off which he is really looking forward to. And I am doing really well...have been running errands and driving and feel like I am healing so much faster than last time. Just cannot wait until I am completely healed and can lift both my boys and do everything again. But everything is going so well and I am thankful for all of these blessings.
