Two Weeks Already!

It's hard to believe two weeks have gone by since Mark was born! Every time we look at him we talk about how much he looks like Belle when she was born. What do you think?? They're pretty much identical twins! We wonder what Mark will look like when he is Belle's age??

Belle at two weeks and Mark at two weeks










In the past couple days he has started to open his eyes more and discover the world around him. However, this doesn't last long. He prefers to eat and sleep about 23 hours of the day! I have had to feed him around the clock. At his two week appointment he weighed 8 lbs, 2 oz. So, he is back to his birth weight, plus a bit, but is still only in the 34 percentile for weight. He's a big eater and slow gainer just like Isabelle. He prefers to sleep on top of us throughout the night (although the past two nights we have got him in the bassinet to sleep..woohoo!) He is a very mellow, sweet baby. The only thing he doesn't seem to like at this point is getting his diaper and clothes changed. Here's our little guy, wide eyed and adorable in our eyes at two weeks...

Isabelle is the best big sister ever! She is so gentle and sweet with Mark. She loves waking up in the morning and coming to see Mark. Here she is the other morning giving him his morning kiss and telling him it's time for cereal (that's all she ever wants for breakfast).

Kisses.....
"Cereal time Mark"She also loves to bring her toys to him and play. Here she brought her ducks and she told him all about them. I'm not really sure what was going on, but there was a whole conversation happening between her, the ducks, and Mark.
I guess there was one more thing Mark didn't like...his first bath. Hopefully he'll soon be like Belle and believe having a bath is one of best parts of the day! He did love it after when he was all dry and cozy!
These are just some photos of extra cuteness. Nothing is cuter than a newborns toes, fingers, and yawns. The one thing we'll always cherish is how tiny and delicate our children were. They grow up so fast!
