Week two brought many joys and a couple of hurdles. Bennett is changing every day...he is becoming more interactive and is alert more often. I have yet to capture one on film but "gas smiles" are a frequent occurence now and just as satisfying as the real thing. He's still a pretty good sleeper - although every night is a bit different; some better than others. He is weighing in at a solid 6 lb 14 oz at the two week mark - almost fitting into newborn clothes!We had to take him in for an extra doctor visit last weekend - poor little guy had an eye infection and couldn't open his eyes for a day...all cleared up now. Brent went back to work Monday which was a bit rough on everyone - another adjustment we're working through. I managed a shower, breakfast and a walk by 2pm today...feeling like I can do this Mom thing alright with some practice.
This week has been one filled with family and friends. We are learning something new about our little man every day and have loved every moment as we evolve as a family. Grandma and Grandpa Knowles come and "play" with Bennett whenever they can get away from work. We've bundled him up for many walks - he loves the motion of the stroller and tends to sleep through these excursions. The weather has been great and the sun has done wonders for Mommy's spirits...getting out of the house is very therapeutic. Lola has been spoiled with daily trips to the dog park. At the end of the day, we are all a bit tired and do sneak a few family naps.
