andie ~ two weeks.

It's been two weeks since this little angel entered into our world.
Two blissfully perfect weeks.
We are all madly in love with our new little girl, Andie.
She is perfect in every way, and her big sister is quickly becoming obsessed with her.
Quinn is incredibly gentle with her and loves to look at her little nose and ears and toesies.

I have yet to post Andie's birth story, so I am working a little backwards here.
The story of her journey into the world will be written and shared soon.

At two weeks, Andie is truly an angel of a baby.
She is giving a big "take that!" to every single person who said "Oh, just wait for the second one to come!".
It's no secret Quinn was an incredibly easy baby.  If it is possible, Andie has topped the charts of what I could ever imagine a dream little baby to be.
We have yet to bounce or sway a crying baby.  She is such a happy and content girl all the time (well all of the two little weeks of her life :).
We hear from Andie little coos and fusses only during the day when she is ready to eat, and always like clockwork.  And if you caught that "only during the day" part, then I should add that not a single night have we had this little one wake up or crying.  I have to wake her up to eat (since the day we brought her home).
Currently, Andie eats every 2 hours during the day and at night I wake her up about 3 1/2-4 hours. Which means she eats about 10, then I wake her close to 2am, then about 5:30/6:00am.  I guess some people would consider that waking just once a night, but we sleep in till at least 7am around here.
How did we bring home a baby that already knew the difference between night and day?

Andie is also back up to her birth weight and already growing and changing right in front of our eyes.
She is a little rockstar when it comes to breastfeeding.  Considering she dropped a little more weight than normal at the hospital, she has caught back up quickly.  (7lbs 8oz at birth - 6lbs 10 oz going home)

On the day Andie turned 2 weeks, the summer July weather is a little confused and gave us a Fall feeling day. :)  So she is sporting her first long sleeve top today.  She also is making some fun brand new sounds and a little talking that Quinn loves.

If anyone is staring at the picture above of our little Andie thinking "Deja Vu - that looks just like Quinn as a baby" - you are not alone.  While of course they are their own little unique selves and have little differences we notice at this stage, the similarity between them as newborns is amazing.  Even down to the same little two red line beauty mark on their foreheads.  We will post some baby picture comparisons of these sisters.

At just one week of age, Andie already had a brand new cousin.  She lost her status of the newest little grandbaby rather quickly. :)
Here is Andie at 2 weeks and her little cousin Noah (Drew & Kristen's) at 1 week.
We can't wait to meet him!

Happy 2 weeks to our sweet little Andie Ainsley!
You are such a joy for us, we love you so much.
