2 weeks old

Our wee boy is 2 weeks old today! He was weighed by the midwife on Monday this week, and was up to 4.3 kg (almost 9lb 8oz), which means he gained 500g in one week. He is starting to fill out a bit, but still seems very long and lean to us. 

Madeleine continues to love him, and often lies next to him and says "hiii babyyy". She hasn't tried to say his name yet, just "baby".

He spends most of his day sleeping, and continues to be a very settled baby. I'm quite sure that by this age, Madeleine had her fussy periods each evening, requiring us all to bounce and carry her. Ross still rarely cries, and mostly squawks and squirms when he's unhappy.

We gave him his first bath a couple of days ago. We were both surprised and happy that M didn't mind sharing her bath with him, and didn't even try to splash him. She emptied a few containers of water on his tummy, but he didn't seem to mind too much. Unlike M, who screamed during her bath for the first few weeks, Ross was relatively calm. He certainly didn't love it, but he didn't protest too much.
