Baby's 2nd Week

We survived the first week!  We had TONS of help from family, we couldn't have done it without them.  Here are some highlights from this week...

~ He decided he wanted to nurse!  We are using a nipple shield (sorry if this is TOO MUCH INFORMATION! :) ) but he's doing it.  It's a bit painful, so we have some work to do.  Still pumping, but hardly any formula.

~He was up in weight again when we went back to the hospital's lactation specialist!

~He had his first trip to the grocery store and Target, and slept through them both!  I don't like that our carseat doesn't fit very well on the cart...any ideas?

~He slept 6 1/2 hours one night!  And so did we!

~New Parent Support visit- Erin loves you!

~1st time you used a pacifier.  You like it for short bits of time.

~Mommy had a mani/pedi away from baby, and daddy had some golf time away.

~So far you've met all your grandparents, except Opa Alroy (he'll come soon), all of your aunts and uncles, and some of your great aunts and great uncles and cousins.

~We had our newborn pictures taken on Saturday in Herington.  We are so excited to see how they turned out.  You were so good!

~You found your reflection in the mirror on your swing.

~Daddy had been home these past 2 weeks, we will miss him when he goes to work! :(

~You are wearing newborn and 0-3 month clothing, but some of those are too big!

~You are wearing newborn diapers, and we go through about 10 a day. :)

~You hate getting in your carseat, but LOVE riding in the car.

~We go for walks everyday, and you love it!
