Smile!

Cole is 6 weeks old now! He's started giving us a few smiles over the past week and I know I'm biased, but it is SO CUTE. He has a great big smile that just takes up his whole face. Just when you start to get sad that they're getting so big so fast, they start to do the fun stuff! I haven't been able to catch him smiling with a camera close by yet, but here are a some pics of him since my last post.


He's also crying real tears now, which I hate. :(

Hunter's sweet smile has turned in to a silly smile lately. Here is the face I get more often than not as he is saying "cheese" for the camera....

Silly, but I LOVE IT! He is so fun these days!

One month old!

Cole is one month old! He had his well-check yesterday and weighed in at 8 lbs, 5.5 oz (25th %) and 20.5 inches (25th %). It was a pretty boring check-up and we like those....nothing major to report other than he's doing great!

It's a little crazy to think that he's been here for a month already. He's still sleeping for longer periods of time during the day and waking about every 2-3 hours at night, so we'll try to get his days switched around to where they need to be. Easier said than done....

He likes: being held, swaddled, sucking, and is really starting to watch us and things that are going on around him. He seems to prefer sleeping more upright in something like his swing or bouncy seat. He's had a couple of bottles and is taking them well so far.

He doesn't like: having his clothes or diaper changed. He's starting to realize that baths aren't so bad after all, although he prefers to be dressed as soon as humanly possible afterward. :)

Here are a couple of pictures from his one month birthday today. He didn't really feel like having his picture taken at the time, so I didn't get very many good ones.


In Hunter news, he is now registered preschooler! He'll start in the fall 2 days as week. I can't believe it's time for him to start school. I'm sad that he's growing up so fast but, at the same time, am excited for all of the new things he'll learn. He's such a big boy and great big brother.

Pottying and Putt-Putt

We officially have a potty trained toddler in the house! Hunter has been doing so well pottying, in fact, that he only wants to go alone now. He doesn't even need to be told to go....he just runs in to the bathroom and goes by himself, and prefers not to have any help (which can get a little messy on occasion, but hey, at least he's got the idea!).

He got to pick another fun day last weekend as a reward for doing such a great job and he decided he wanted to play putt-putt. My boy has a pretty good little golf swing for a 2 year old, if I don't say so myself, and his putting isn't too shabby either! He was a lot of fun to watch.
