Jacob had his two week checkup today. Jennifer and I were excited to see how much he weighs now. We plopped him down on the scale and were amazed to see he weighs 7lbs 5oz! That means he gained 21oz (1lb 5oz) in less than two weeks. Jacob is definitely making up for his slim birth weight by eating every chance he gets.

We switched to Dr. Brown bottles to try to get his gassy belly to calm down. He hasn’t had a fit since the switch so hopefully we’re on to something. We tried Avent, Playtex VentAire, Playtex Drop-ins, and Breast-flow bottles and all of them gave him bad gas.

Yesterday Jacob discovered his toys and he had a great time batting at it while papa dangled it in front of his face. Here is a pic of the action:

I’ve been walking around with him in the Baby Bjorn a little bit and he seems to like it. He likes to gaze in amazement in the backyard.
