Brent is more than 2 weeks old!

Hard to believe 2 weeks have gone by already. Brent is definitely getting bigger, he's over his birth weight now, and growing taller. He's still in newborn clothes which is ironic considering everyone was so sure he'd out of newborn sizes so quickly. He also has stopped shedding so much skin and just yesterday lost most of his umbilical cord. He's more alert, staying awake for longer stretches, and really likes kicking his legs. The doctor says we don't have to wake him up to feed him anymore but he's waking up on his own every 3 hours. He's much more efficient at feeding but he still likes to be awake in the middle of the night. We gave him a pacifer for the first time this morning. I could tell he wasn't hungry but really wanted something to suck on and our fingers weren't cutting it. He fell asleep pretty quickly afterwards. Olive the dog is all of sudden very focused on Brent. She comes to "help" everytime he cries or gets his diaper changed. Maybe she thinks he is her puppy. Probably not, but that's what I'm telling myself.

I think he's starting to look a lot more like Ryan!
