2 1/2 weeks!

It's hard to believe it's already been two weeks since Reed came into our lives. He is so fun and growing so fast (already gained almost a pound and has very squeezable cheeks!)

He is such a happy boy (most of the time).

He has expressive little hands. When he’s fussy or worrying he looks like he's wringing them. He clasps them when he's relaxed, and pumps them up and down when he's unhappy.

Reed was borderline jaundice for the first week of his life and we had to go every day for a bilirubin test (they prick his heel and sqeeze out a small vials worth of blood - SO sad. It was no fun for any of us.) They told us to put him in the sun a little every day to help and he finally was cleared last Wednesday of being at risk for jaundice. HOORAY!

His favorite place to sleep is on mom or dad's chest.

More fun facts about Reed: 90% of the time he gets the hiccups after he's eaten and just when he's drifting off to sleep. Baby hiccups are so cute, but at 2 am...

The hair on top of his head sticks straight up. Very stylish.

Reed loves playing with his tongue and making funny faces. He furrows his brow and looks like a very serious baby, intent on looking at who-knows-what. He’s has his eyes open for much more of the day these past few days.
