Luke and Liam Update

Liam is two weeks, one day old today. He went to the pediatrician for his first checkup this afternoon, and he’s still looking great. He’s already gained a few ounces. He still wants to wake up for long stretches during the night, but he’s gotten a lot better. He’s going about three hours between feedings on average, but at night he’ll occasionally go longer, so we can’t complain.

We had to drag out the old bouncer for Luke.

Luke has adapted well to being a big brother. He occasionally likes to bounce Liam’s bouncer, but other than that he’s being very sweet. Luke became very fond of playing with our dishwasher and oven, so we now have gates on both entrances to the kitchen. He’s also been trying to climb things. Yesterday he managed get up on the couch by himself.

Luke’s discovered our laundry nook. He’ll open the sliding doors, get in, and close the doors behind him. A couple of weeks ago he locked himself in his room. I wasn’t able to pick the lock, so I had to take the door knob off the door to get him out. He hasn’t really learned any new words lately, but he’s jabbering up a storm.

Cassie is still doing great. She goes back to the doctor on Friday, but we expect a good report.
