Peyton- 2 week update

Peyton had his two week appointment on Monday, April 15th (his due date). He is doing really well and the doctor was really impressed with his weight gain! He has gained over a pound since the hospital. He is a really fast nurser and likes to nurse very often, so I am not that surprised!

For a little comparison here are Peyton and Patrick's stats at their 2 week appointments.

Peyton- 8 pounds, 2.5 ounces (25%); 21 1/2 inches long (75%), and his head circumference is 20%.
Patrick- 7 pounds, 1 ounce (15%); 20 inches long (25%), and his head circumference was 15%.

Patrick and Peyton look so much alike as babies, but you can definitely tell that Peyton is a little bit chunkier :)  He has little rolls on his arms and they are just precious! He also has so much hair! Peyton is a sweet little baby and puts up with a lot of yelling from his big brother! He has his days and nights mixed up, but we are slowly starting to get him back on track. He also loves his pacifier! Pretty nice to have a baby that likes a pacifier!

Here are a few pictures from the past couple weeks of Peyton

Precious little face

Big Brother wanted some pictures taken too

I am sort of obsessed with Patrick's hair! How precious are those curls?!?!

And this is what the dogs have been up to.... hunting for chipmunks. They have been pretty successful. The chipmunk population is quickly decreasing in our area :(
