2 weeks

Today Quinn is 2 weeks old! Crazy how fast time goes. He had his 2 week check up yesterday and everything was great. He weighed 7 lb 5 oz, which is 3 oz over birth weight! The doctor was really impressed and said that they want them to at least be back to birth weight by 2 weeks, so the fact that he was 3 ounces over birth weight combined with the fact that they were concerned about the amount of weight he lost in the hospital, was awesome. He is growing like a weed! :) He looked great and she said he is a happy, healthy boy. He did surprise her by rolling from his back to his belly with his arms trapped under him while she was examining him. She told us we can't leave him anywhere because he will roll right off, which we already knew, I just don't remember babies rolling before being even 2 weeks old!
We are getting into a new routine with him and I think things are going well. He is SUCH a good baby, and Paiton is by far a ton more work than he is! He is very sweet, calm, and mellow. He puts himself to sleep in his bed during his naps during the day. At night he has more trouble with that and doesn't like to sleep in his bed. We are working on that.
Paiton is still totally in love with him and is constantly making sure he's ok, talking to him, kissing him, giving him toys, etc. She does great with him and is a big helper.
This is what Quinn looks like on his 2 week old birthday:

Trying out his new swing, which he loves!

On our way to the doctor, he wasn't thrilled to be having his picture taken:
Yesterday we went and met Aunt Stacie, Kylie, Ethan, and Grandma Kathy at Just Kid'n Around to play. Paiton playing dress up:

In Paiton News - she unfortunately has to have her tonsils and adenoids removed on June 6. We figured that giving birth with no insurance, 4 days in the hospital for Quinn and the light bed, sleep study, and numerous other medical bills weren't enough, so we figured we'd toss in a surgery too!! ;)
We went and saw the ENT finally last week and she thinks it would be worth it to take Paiton's tonsils and adenoids out and see if that helps her sleep. She was quick to say this may not help (sigh) but that she hoped it would. We are soooo not looking forward to this and have been warned that it's really hard for toddlers to recover from this for some reason and that for 2 weeks she'll probably be pretty miserable. Luckily Matt will be off of work then for summer break, so that will be a big help!

I can't believe it has been 2 weeks. He is so precious!!! Poor P :(, that surgery is really no fun to recover from.
