2 weeks

Rowan turned 2 weeks last Thursday. I wanted to document the important stuff even though it's a little late.
At his 2 week check up he weighed 7 lbs 13 oz (25%) and is almost 21 inches (50%)
He is really strong and tolerates tummy time really well. He can hold his head up nice and tall for a few minutes at a time!
I think his biggest change, appearance wise, is that his eyes are now much bigger. He opens them nice and wide all the time now.
He's a really passive baby and rarely gets super fussy. He doesn't seem to like to be at other peoples houses though, except my moms.
He LOVES to eat, and eat, and eat! When he's awake, which is almost all day, he likes to eat at least once an hour. My days are pretty much spent sitting somewhere feeding the little guy. I had no idea that breastfeeding would consume so much of our day.
He got Thrush, and in return gave it to my breasts. NOT FUN! Breastfeeding is rather painful with thrush and we can't wait until we can enjoy our feedings together.
He makes the funniest faces. They have Derek and I laughing constantly. He also has the cutest sneezes and is quite the sneezy baby!
He gets the hiccups at least twice a day. He tolerates them really well unless he's trying to eat, then he gets annoyed. We've started using gripe water when he gets them but I can't tell if it works or not.
He loves his swing and spends most of the night sleeping in it. He sleeps really well and will usually do two 3-4 hour spans and one 2 hour span. He always goes right back to sleep after eating.
We are loving him more and more everyday and love seeing his little personality develop.
He loves car rides! He usually sits in his car seat wide awake and only fusses if he's missing a feeding or wants to be cuddled.
We've started going on walks in the morning and he seems to like them more. We're up to about 15 minutes before he's done.

He wants to eat now so pictures will have to wait!
