Yael at 2 weeks

 Me and my older Brother

 Just a few days old

Yael will be 2 weeks old in a couple of days which is hard to believe, where does the time go?! It goes way too fast. He is a strong baby boy.  He tries to hold his head up and does rather well at times. I love to just hold and cuddle with him and watch him sleep in my arms. I love it when he smiles. He has the biggest smile especially when he is sleeping and he starts smiling. It is so cute. He must be dreaming about something good. Yael already exceeded his birth weight when we took him in for his newborn check up last Thursday. He was only a week old and he weighed 6 lbs. 14 oz. That was good news that he was getting plenty to eat. He is good at nursing once I get him latched on. Breastfeeding has been challenging but it gets better with each day that goes by. Yael also got circumcised last Thursday which was a sad sight to see him go through that. He has had a good recovery.  I have enjoyed getting to know him the past couple weeks. He is such a sweet little baby. He is very good natured. He has been sleeping well at night and during the day. It is nice that he sleeps as much as he does so that I can still spend good time with Jude and try and get some more rest myself. He eats every 3 hours during the day and goes a little longer at night sometimes 4 or 5 hours. He loves to be held. He doesn't like to be left alone for too long.  He has a funny little snorting sound that he makes when he cries.
