happy boy...

-my first attempt at capturing his darling smile-

first smile...

I got my first smile from little Crew yesterday, and man was it cute. Now I will have to work on trying to catch it on film.

1 month old...

So Crew turned one month on thursday the 16th and let me tell you, it has been one wild month at our house. He has been a little more difficult than Kate was and now Kate is quite the little tantrum thrower. So we have our hands full; but I wouldn't change it for anything. I know this first little while will be rough, but I know they will be such good friends. Kate already loves him so much. Here are a few pics from the last little bit.

All dressed up on his one month birthday and looking quite handsome I might add.

Stretching out after a little road trip to park city. He is growing so fast!

I love to see the difference in size. Kate has hit a growth spurt and is so tall now. It is kind of scary; she can now reach pans on the stove, so I can't use the front burners anymore.

He even looks cute when he is crying...

He is getting a lot more alert and likes to lay on the ground and play.

wearing the Milo shirt that his papa made for him

happy 4th!

kate didn't love the idea of getting a picture together, we will have to work on that.
he is getting so big!

Kate was a little scared of the fireworks at first but then she absolutely loved them. I just watched her instead of the fireworks.

2 weeks old...

So Crew turned 2 weeks on Tuesday, and it has all been a big blur. I thought with this being my second, I would somewhat know what I was doing, boy was I wrong. I now believe when people say that every baby is so different. Things that worked for Kate don't work for him. He is doing great though, Paul and I are just a little tired. He still has his days and nights confused and I swear he wants to eat every five minutes. But he is the sweetest boy ever and we love him so much. He had his 2 week check up today and here are his stats.

8 lb. 5 oz. (33%)

20 3/4 inches (47%)

14.25 inches head circum. (27%)

The doc was quite happy with his weight gain. A pound and a half in just two weeks! Another fun fact is that he rolled from his tummy to his back when he was just 10 days old. I thought it was a one time thing, but now he does it almost everytime we put him on his tummy.

Here are a few pics from this last week.

loving his photo shoot

he totally looks like he is smiling!

Paul thought with all his weight gain he needed to start running on the treadmill.
