6 weeks

Our little man is now 8 pounds 13 ounces and 20.5 inches. Looking at him it is hard to believe a lot of babies are this big at birth! Poor mommas! He is now sleeping so much better at night, 5-6 hour stretches. He has been really fussy and uncomfortable during the day so the doc is going to start him on Zantac. I just hope it helps. There is nothing worse for a mom that to feel helpless in making her baby feel better.

We are getting his pictures made on Saturday and I cannot wait. He is probably going to have to change clothes a couple of times and since it is Halloween he might just get one picture in his costume. Here are some pics I took on a dark sheet just playing around with my phone. I think they turned out great.

I love this little guy more than anything.

Growing so fast

I can't believe how much Daniel has changed over the few weeks he has been in this world. He went from 5lbs 10oz when we left the hospital to 7lbs 12oz at one month. His personality is starting to show. He has started smiling and cooing. Most shocking is that he is rolling over. One night I laid him on his back to go to sleep and he woke up on his stomach. He is so strong.

Mommy and Daddy are starting to figure things out too. I love watching Brian take care of him it is so sweet. There is nothing that can prepare you for this experience. It is exhausting, frustrating and the most wonderful thing I could have imagined.

I can't believe it has been a month!

Well I know it has been a while. Daniel is a month old. He has gained about 2 pounds since he left the hospital! He is a little pig. It is an amazing feeling to be a mom. No matter how tired I am or how much he cries I can always smile when I look at him.
