You're 7 weeks old!!!

7 Weeks and we feel like you've been here forever, or rather we aren't sure what we did before you were here! I wanted to update the blog with some pictures, I went through all the ones I have taken and you 1. just keep getting cuter and cuter, and 2. you have changed SO much. 

Since the last post, you have:

-Gained 2 lbs (weighing in at 12lbs 5oz.)
-Started sleeping longer at night (most of the time) a few night for 6-7 hours at a time! Mommy and Daddy love this!
-Gotten a stuffy nose, you hate having you're nose cleaned out!
-Started smiling so much more, and bigger, and even have started 'talking' when we talk to you!! (We also LOVE this) 
-You are awake much more, and sleep less during the day now.
-You don't like laying flat, you would much rather be propped up looking around or in your seat looking around!
-You are very interested in your surroundings especially the shadows on the wall. :)
- You are recognizing Mom and Dad even more than before, we love this too. 

We got the newborn photos back from the amazing Arin, and yet again Mommy couldn't be happier with them! I think I want to try for 3, 6, 9, and 12 month pictures, Daddy thinks I'm crazy, BUT you are the cutest baby I have ever seen and I want lots of pictures to prove it!
On that note, I am posting a few pictures from the newborn photos (probably more than I should, because I love them all!) and a few that I have taken also! :)
















Wide awake! :)

You're almost 1 month old!!

Well starting now i'm going to be writing the post geared more towards Carson, I want him (and myself) to know what was going on and for the blog to be for him. I think it will be really fun to go back and see what he was doing when he was a baby. 

It's been a while since I last updated the blog, but its hard to hold you, feed you, and type all at the same time :) We are defiantly enjoying our time together. I can say that I never want to go back to work but sadly I will have to. :( but it helps to know that I will be leaving you in good hands(almost always in her arms actually) with Grammy Carol. If you were going to get spoiled you would defiantly be by now, I think the time you spend in your bassinet at night is the most time you spend not being hold, but that's ok because you only wake us up to eat and go right back to bed. Mom & Dad sure can't complain about that!


At ONE month old you are:

- At your three week appointment you weighed 10lbs 3oz (60%), and were 22inches long (70%).
- You can focus your eyes when we talk to you.
-Daddy says you love to look at the ceiling and walls...which is true you look around  a lot :)
- Looking around when familiar voices are heard (especially mommy, daddy, and grammy carol)
- Eating 3 oz every couple hours during the day, (its very hard for you to stay awake to eat al 3 oz at once) but sometimes an extra oz within an hour
- Eating 3 oz every 3-3.5 hours at night and sleeping in between.
- Wearing size 0-3 months clothes, newborn outfits were outgrown within the first week. 
-Trying very hard to hold your head up for longer periods of time, you can do it for a little bit get tired, but you keep trying.
- You love laying on your belly.
- You can roll from your belly to your side, then back, if you are pushing off of mommy or daddy's hand with your feet.
-Your very active you move your head lots, and kick and punch, your are going to be a handful!
- You don't mind being in your car seat either, actually you are a pretty good shopping buddy because you sleep almost the whole time your in your seat, and your good in the car too. 
- You don't mind Bath time one bit.
- You also are getting much better about not crying while being changed!
- Awake time is usually about 3 hours in the morning and 3 hours at night, although its becoming more and more. 
- You are VERY impatient, when you are hungry you are hungry RIGHT now. 
- You  make lots of funny faces, but every single one is just as cute as the next!
- Most importantly you are PERFECT, we love you more and more everyday.

And now a few pictures of you the past few weeks. Soon we will have your newborn photos to post!

Welcome little man!

As you all know he is FINALLY here! Our little man made is big entrance on October 17, 2011 at 11:23 in the morning, weighing in at a whopping 8lbs 13oz and 21in long! We were only in the delivery room for about 12 hours..which all in all wasn't too horribly long, except that we went in at 11pm and hadn't been to bed so we were all a little sleep deprived... BUT he is COMPLETELY worth all that and all the pain (lots of pain..lol) But after all the waiting we finally got to meet our little boy! He is absolutely perfect if i do say so myself! My heart melts every time I look at him.
There is defiantly no shortage of people who love and think he is just perfect. We really couldn't be any happier and are so thankful that he is healthy, and that we have so much support from all of our family and friends during such an amazing time! We are so happy to be introducing him to everyone, and can't wait to keep doing so! On that note, I will post some pictures and go snuggle with him, because I know everyone really wants to see pictures anyway!

Just waiting...

and being silly...
