The Hooper's: 2 weeks old!

Reese had her 2 week appointment on the 16th of February. She did great!

-Weight: 8 lb 8oz & she is in the 68 percentile
-Height: 20.5 & she is in the 72 percentile
-She still is eating fabulous but we have been giving her only 3 oz and letting her suck on a soother. This has helped in her not spitting up as much.
-She does have a hernia under her belly button. The Dr said it should go away by the time she is 2. If not we will go and have that repaired.
-Her hip socket isn't completely formed (this is usual in first born children that are girls) but to make sure it is fine we will be taking her to do an ultrasound at her 4 week mark. Most often it is formed by this point, it is just a precaution.
-She sleeps 5-6 hours straight every night. Usually she falls asleep at 8 and wakes between 2-3 and then sleeps 4 or 5 more hours.
-She Loves to be held.
-I think if she had her way she would sleep on her tummy in my arms snuggled under my neck.
-She doesn't like to be swaddled too much. I usually don't make it to tight on her arms and her legs are free. She always finds a way to have her arms out and relaxed.
-She responds to the sound of my voice and Libby's singing. She also loves car rides.
-She still doesn't cry very much.

The hardest part of the week is keeping all the sickness at bay. With this time of year I have been trying hard to keep her healthy (so far so good). But Libby got sick AGAIN. That girl catches everything!!! Because of the yucky's at our house I left Libby in the capable hands of Marshall and took the baby to my parent's empty house for the holiday weekend (Presidents Day). Libby had a fever of 104.3 and I didn't want Reese getting it. So needless to say we have had a rough weekend and long days. So please forgive the lack of pictures. (All of the pictures of Libby with her were taken before she got sick on Friday)

Early morning Cuddle

Holding Big sister Libby's Fingers!

Marshall said that I was jinxing myself when I dressed her in this onesie.

Good thing she cant read yet!

I love sleeping babies!!

Reese was crying and Libby came over to settle her down. I thought these pictures do a good job of showing you what Libby does for Reese!!

Super cute in the animal print!

This is for Jada! I can't tell you how many times I go to check on her that this is the pose she has decided to sleep in. She sleeps great especially if she can have her arms up above her head.
