I took Elijah to the doctor today for his two week check up. He was born at 6 lbs and 15 oz, but was at 6 lbs 5oz when we took him to his regular doctor the day after we got home. Today she said he is up to 7 lbs 3 oz! Hooray Eli! He is still very thin with his weight being in the 13th percentile, however the kid is eating like a pig so hopefully he continues to pack on the pounds. He wants to eat anytime he wakes up and last night he ate 5.5 oz which is a ton. Normally new-borns eat 2-3 oz in a sitting.
He measures 20.5 inches which puts him in the 45th percentile. The doctor commented that he had "huge" feet. It will be interesting to see if he is the same size as Sam, so far he has been exactly the same.
Sam is doing better with things. He went through about a week and a half where he completely stopped listening, but has been doing much better these last few days. I'm glad to have my good listener/helper back!!

Glad everything is going well. He looks so small in that carseat. I think I've kind of forgotten how small newborns really are. He is adorable!
Glad to hear things are going good! Jared and I NEED to come for a visit!!! Also, look like you might need some car seat strap covers! ;) Do you prefer matching to car seat or random print?
oh, and he is stinkin' adorable!!! :)
