2 Weeks Old!

So I wrote this post earlier in the week and am just now getting around to actually finishing it.....


Two weeks have now passed since Makenzie joined our family and I can not believe how fast she is growing. It makes me sad to think she is already over two weeks old....I want to savor every moment of her being tiny and cuddley because I know how quickly these moments will be gone.

We had a busy second week. Here are some of the top moments for Makenzie's second week:

1. Weight Check: Makenzie went in on Tuesday, May 22nd for a weight check. In four days she had gone from 6 lbs. 12 oz. to 6 lbs. 15 oz.

 2. Makenzie had her first visit to her grandparents' house. Donna and Charley babysat her for a couple of hours while David and I ran up to my school to take all my stuff off the walls. I am having to move my classroom which is always a fun challenge when you are supposed to be enjoying your maternity leave.

3. Makenzie tested out her bouncy seat....it was exhausting work.

4. The girls played 'doctor' together. I am sure Makenzie will be glad when she is bigger and doesn't always have to be the patient. Morgan was sure to check out her ears, listen to her heart and chest (even telling her to "take a deep breathe."), and give her a shot. 

 5. Makenzie met her big cousins Caity and Lindsey along with her Auntie Jen.

6. Makenzie enjoyed her first slumber party with her cousins. Hopefully there will be many more of those in the years to come!

7. Makenzie wore another one of her adorable little girl outfits. She looks so cute in this little outfit!

8. Makenzie lost her umbilical cord. On Monday evening at exactly 2 weeks old Makenzie's cord came off. Morgan was so excited for her sister she kept yelling "Hooray for Makenzie!" Morgan knew that since the cord was now off it meant she could take a real bath.

***On a side note as I was working on this post during afternoon snack I looked up from my computer and saw this. 

Being a big sis is hard work.
