Two weeks old!
Benjamin was two weeks old yesterday! He's doing very well and eating lots. He's consuming ~4 ounces of formula every three hours. The only thing that makes Ben cranky is waiting for food... other than that he really doesn't fuss or cry for anything else.
The bilirubin level in his system has dropped, so the touch of jaundice he had has passed and at his doctor's appointment last Friday he weighed in at 8.5 lbs. We have another appointment this Friday so I'll post an update then.
Nic, Ben, and I went out for breakfast this morning. This was our first outing with Ben aside from doctor appointments and bilirubin tests. Ben slept through his entire first restaurant experience.
Ben is also sleeping in his crib at night and falls asleep on his own after his night-time feedings. Let's hope this this is a trend!
And finally, some more Ben photos. :)

And here's Ben after breakfast this morning. His first big outing to a restaurant and he got to wear "big boy" clothes too. :)
