Happy TwoWeek-Day

Jack is two weeks old today. We feel this is quite a milestone. In two weeks, Jack has learned how to do the following things:

1. Breath
2. Cry
3. Nurse
4. See
5. Burp
6. Hiccup
7. Stretch
8. Poop
9. Pee on dad at every diaper change
10. Move his limbs in all directions
11. Tell us he's hungry
12. Tell us he needs to burp
13. Tell us he wants to be held
14. Shed his skin
15. Lose his umbilical cord
16. Bob his head up and down
17. Roll onto his side
18. Get out of a baby burrito
19. Lose the silly hat and socks
20. Make the dogs all but disappear
21. Produce visitors at our door in what feels like 30 second intervals
22. Keep two adults completely, totally devoted to his happiness and well-being

We celebrated his TwoWeek-Day by visiting a guilty pleasure of B.C. (Before Child): waffles for breakfast.

This is the photo from my original blog post about it:

This is the photo from the waffles I attempted this morning:

So I fired up our largest skillet and we had pancakes instead. Do you think it's a sign? Over here in New Jack Haven, we roll with the pancake punches ;)

*It turns out that my favorite waffle recipe makes superb pancakes -- the oil makes them crispy.

Jack slept for nearly 5 hours last night. Then he stayed awake, alert and wanting to interact, for 3 full hours this afternoon. The we played the "I'm too hungry to sleep but too sleepy to eat" game for another 1.5 hours. Either, he's going to sleep a ton tonight, or we're going to be miserable. Wish us luck!
