5 Months Old Today!

Today West is 5 months old. Yikes! He is loving cereal and new 1st foods. He can roll across the room and likes to sit (with assistance). We are looking forward to his 1st Halloween this Saturday.

8 Weeks Old

Just Rolling Along

Where do we start. West is 7 weeks old this week. Last week, at 6 weeks he had his second Doctor's appointment. He weighed in at 11 lb 10 oz (that's a 3 pound increase in 4 weeks) and grew 1 1/2 inches to 22 1/2!! Our doctor said that nursing babies will gain one to two ounces a day for the next month. We can only imagine how our chubbo will change in the coming month. He is officially wearing 3-6 month clothes, so we had to retire his newborn sizes (insert tear here). We enjoy visiting both sets of grandparents and going on walks. Oh yea... he smiles and chuckles!! Everyday is so much fun, we love our little boy.

Man With A Million Faces

West had a photo shoot with Kalyn on June 11th. He was 2 weeks old. Muir, Kalyn and I had so much fun posing West. He was wide awake the whole time and seemed to be ok with being naked.

1st Portraits

These photos were taken at the hospital. Of course we were talked into having his photo taken and purchased the biggest package! We did everything we could to get him to open his eyes. This was the start of his tendency to play possum when strangers are around. Seriously though, he surveys the scene and checks out when we are in public or if family/friends are around. He'll open one eye to see if anyone is looking at him, then shut it immediately. Too funny!!

1st Week

What a week!! Muir and I are getting used to being new parents. Sleep is the only thing missing in our schedules. West is such a wonderful little man.
