Crew {1st Smiles}

Today Crew woke up extra happy and gave his first smiles. Chesney was so excited as she was holding him when he smiled for the first time.
 
Looking forward to many more smiles from this sweet boy.

Crew {1 Month Old}

Our baby boy is one month old.  Crew has been such a special addition to this family, and we couldn't be more thankful for him.
Here is what you have been up to over the past month..
You were born into this crazy family.
You stole heart
 after heart
after heart.
And you made us all so happy.
You took your first bath on April 15.
You got spoiled
over
and over again.
You slept, a lot.
You celebrated your first Easter.
You went on your first road trip to Grampy and Grammy's house.
You found one of your favorite napping spots, daddy's shoulder.
You went for lots of walks.

Your 1 month stats:

  • Weight:  9lb 14oz (51st percentile)
  • Length: 21.5 inches (48th percentile)
  • Clothes: You are wearing 0-3 month clothes.
  • Shoes: We have not put shoes on you yet.
  • Diapers: You wear cloth diapers day and night. 
  • Food: Just mommy milk.
  • Development: You are staying awake for slightly longer periods of time.  Your eyes are starting to focus and you know mommy's voice.
  • Sleep:  You wake up twice at night, usually around 2 am and and again around 4 or 5 am.  You nap on and off throughout the day. You love to sleep on daddy's shoulder or mommy's chest.  I think you want to be a belly sleeper.
  • What I love about you: You make every single person in this family smile daily.  Everyone fights to hold you and cuddle with you.  You are the perfect addition to this family.
Happy 1 month Crew.  We love you so much!

Busy Days

The days seem to fly by around here and there are certainly times when I can't figure out what we did all day. Sometimes I think we spend the day taking toys out and putting them away so we can take out more toys.
 But we find lots of time to snuggle with Crew.
 Crew hit the gym this week.
 And Brecken thought the gym was pretty cool too.
 The kids got bubble blowing guns for Easter and absolutely love them.
 More walks to enjoy the weather.
 
 Daddy got a new power washer and insists on using it to clean everything.
 We all hit the golf course one night last week.
 
 
This sweet boy has everyone wrapped around his finger.
Brecken had his 4K classroom visit this week.  To my surprise he wasn't one bit scared.  He told me on the way there "Hey Mom, I'll just run in and you can stay in the car."  Yeah, that's not happening but keep that enthusiasm up this fall buddy.

Crew {4 Weeks Old}

How did nearly a month pass since this little guy was born?!? A couple weeks ago I was feeding Crew and Brecken was sitting next to me on the couch.  He looks over at me and says "Here Mom, give me Crew.  I'll feed him" as he's ripping his shirt off.
 Crew's favorite place to sleep is on your shoulder, and he seems to like Daddy's shoulder the best.
 But Chesney has the touch too.

Week Review

We were stuck inside a lot last week due to rainy weather. Of course the rain didn't stop the boys from going out for a little while.
 Snuggle time with his baby brother.
 We went to visit Grampy and Grammy over the weekend, and we all had so much fun.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 And we had four sleepers on the way home.
 The warm weather is finally back so it is time for outdoor fun and walks.
 Brecken loves to hold his brother whenever he gets a chance.

Crew {3 Weeks Old}

The weeks are certainly flying by at this house and our littlest boy is growing.  We are just getting ready to switch him from his newborn to his 0-3 month clothes.  That went too quickly.
 Some things never change though; he still gets spoiled by his siblings.
 And Crew finally got to meet Grampy and get even more spoiled by Grammy over the weekend.
 Happy 3 weeks sweet boy.
