4 weeks old!

I can't believe Steven is already 4 weeks old! Well, he's 8 weeks old now, but all these pictures are him from 4 weeks. I'm a little behind. :)
He's doing so well! Sleeps in 4 hour stretches at night and eats every 3 hours during the day and he takes good naps. He's such a great baby! He's not a huge fan of his swing yet, but hopefully one day he will be. Mom needs her hands free!
A smile...maybe?

The above picture makes me sad. Why, you ask? I have a beautiful, healthy, fun baby boy! What could I possibly be sad about?! If you will notice the feet of this outfit are all filled out. Yep. My baby boy is getting big. FAST. This is a Newborn outfit that he is quickly growing out of. I've already had to retire a few outfits because they are too small. My little one is not so little. :::sniff, sniff:::

And here he is wearing his first 0-3 month outfit....and it fits. :::more sniffles:::

Already 3 weeks!

This week was Thanksgiving and Steven had a wonderful first holiday!


It started with a bath, which he really likes now. The key to a happy bath is a full belly. :)Gotta wash under those arms!

Do I look nervous?! hahaha

Bathtime is fun!

(((waves))) "Hi!"
Sweet boy. :)



Some awesome pictures!

A good friend of mine was very gracious and offered to come by the house and take some cute newborn pictures of Steven. He was 5 days old in these pictures. She did such a wonderful job and I'm so lucky to have great friends!
Here's a few from his newborn session:


Steven's first bath....

He didn't care for it.


But a pacifier made it a little better...






Steven's second week...

Steven had another check up at 2 weeks. He's up to 8 pounds and 4 ounces!! He's growing so fast! He's a very healthy little boy!
He's having a lot more awake time now, which is really fun!

Here's some pictures from his second week:

He found his thumb!

Not a very flattering picture of Mommy, but a cute one of the baby!

Steven's first week...

Steven's first week with us was wonderful! We had an amazing time getting to know our little guy! We got a lot more sleep than we did in the hospital, but it still wasn't much. This little guy has some lungs!
He had his first doctors appointment the Friday after he was born. He weighed 7 pounds, 3 ounces when we left the hospital that Wednesday, and by that Friday he was up to 7 pounds, 6 ounces. His pediatrician said he looked wonderful and healthy!


Here are some pictures from the first week of his life:

After being home for a few hours, already loving the swing!






A few very cute pictures of Matt and the baby cuddling :)
