Ryan went in for his one week check up on Tuesday. He started at 8lbs 11 ounces at birth. Was down less than 2 ounces by 11pm of day 2. At one week old he has more than gained back to his birth weight. Big boy is up to 8lbs 14.5 ounces!! They also measured him at 21.5 inches. I don't think he grew 1.5 inches in a week. I would guess that maybe the initial measurement was off. It isn't like newborns like to stretch out too easily.

For the most part he likes to be awake for a good amount of time in the mornings. He is pretty good about just hanging out in his pack an play for a bit. He does have this big sister that we still have to help sometimes. It can be hard being the second born and having to wait.
As is to be expected his favorite thing to do is EAT! He is also a champ at going through diapers ;). He is a decent sleeper for a newborn. He takes a long while to eat and eat and eat before he will go to sleep but then he will sleep for a good 3 hour stretch at least. Wakes up for another good feeding and goes back to sleep for another 3 hour stretch. I feel pretty rested with getting several hours in a row. I don't remember Jillian doing so well with sleeping... Maybe I'm just used to getting up from being pregnant and this is really more sleep than I had been getting ;).
