William

William turned one week old on December 2:

He celebrated being two weeks old on December 9:

He's growing and growing.  By his one-week checkup, he had gained 11 ounces since leaving the hospital, and was up to 6 ounces over his birth weight.  He was 6 pounds, 12 ounces.

Last Wednesday, we noticed that he was spitting up quite a bit and kind of choking when he did it.  It scared this momma to death!

Two weeks old and very alert!

Dr. Powell told us on Thursday that she was pretty certain that he has reflux (just like Eileen did) and we had an upper GI xray to confirm it.  So now William is taking reflux medications and is doing so much better!

William and his daddy

His umbilical cord stump fell off sometime in the early morning hours of December 8, so we were able to give him his first bath!

William's first bath. Eileen helped!

Eileen is getting used to William.  She LOVES him if he's in his bassinet (as opposed to taking up "her" space in Mommy's arms), and she will go and get the attention of an adult if the "baby" is crying.

Eileen tried to feed William some of her sugar cookie.  We didn't let her, but we did snap a photo first.

I think they're going to be good buddies when William gets a little bigger.  Eileen is going to be such an excellent big sister!

And William keeps getting cuter and cuter:
