Celia likes two poses for her photographs, tongue out, or dead serious.

This one I couldn’t get her to face the light, so it’s dark. Silly non-compliant children.

Josie has been cherishing the few times a day that Celia is awake and not nursing, here she joins in for tummy time and tries to get Celia to play with some toys.

Josie likes to demonstrate how to use the chewing toys to Celia, unfortunately she doesn’t have that hand control yet! But her head control is improving greatly.

So at two weeks old plus one day, Celia weighed in at 8.5 lbs exactly (up 11 oz from last Wednesday) and 22 inches long. That’s an inch and a half since birth in two weeks! If only I could grow some height like that. No surprise the newborn clothes aren’t fitting anymore along with the smaller 3 month clothes. Onto the 3-6 month clothes we go!

We had one nice (last) warm day the other day and took some fun photos outside. Couldn’t decide which one I liked better so you get them both. It’ll be nice when Celia can hold her head up for pictures!

Celia is growing quickly, we’ll find out on Monday exactly how fast, but she’s developed a bit of a double chin and her clothes look like they’re shrinking by the minute. Diapers too. She’s one heck of a sleeper thus far which is a far cry from how Josie was at this age. So we’re feeling pretty good. She’s fairly predictably awake for about 2 hours once she does wake up during the day, one hour at night for feeding and changing. Then she naps again for 2 hours during the day and 2-4 at night.

She eats, she sleeps, she poops. Not much to a newborn, it’s very clear Josie wishes she would do more and be more awake. So we take some pictures when she finally manages to spend some time awake and some sleeping ones.

Took Celia in to see the doc today and she’s gaining weight like crazy, up to 7 lbs 13.5 oz, that’s up from 7 lbs 2 oz last Wednesday and a birth weight of 7 lbs 9.4 oz. So she’s definitely getting enough milk so I’m not going to worry about her sleeping too much at night, during the day though I’m still going to focus on getting her to eat relatively frequently. And now, gratuitous photos.

Wow more than 50% correct. I don’t think I’d have gotten it right if I hadn’t picked out the pictures myself or noted the eye gunk or picture quality.

Top one (a) was Josie, bottom (b) is Celia.

For those following along in Celia’s development. We had some constipation issues from Tuesday – Saturday which resolved last night thankfully with a major pooptastrophy and a followup today. Now she seems like maybe she’s got the hang of it. Josie has also figured things out again with the potty and has returned to underwear wearing again after a few days of diaper-envy. Tomorrow we go to the doc again to see how much Celia’s gained.

Care to guess?
