We celebrated Mack turning 8 weeks old by having lunch out in Kirkwood. He was pretty good for most of the time, as long as he was on someone's lap! Auntie Kim gave me a break and held him so I could eat my lunch. He is such a little snuggler.
I am 8 weeks old today! I am cute and smiling all the time. The doctor says I weighed in at 11 lbs, 10 oz in my last visit. Mommy is getting sad to go back to work because my cutest time is in the morning. The afternoons find me a little fussy, but as long as I am being fed, burped, and changed I stay pretty happy. I still like to be held and cuddled most of all!
As Mack is growing and changing, Ethan and I keep wondering who is is looking like more. You be the judge...
This weekend my friend Elizabeth came to visit us and meet little Mack. Her 2 year old Nicholas came as well and did a great job helping to mow our lawn. I was very impressed with Ms. Elizabeth because not only did she fly in from KC, she did so 8 months pregnant AND with a 2 year old! We all had a wonderful time at the Magic House and downtown Kirkwood.
Nick was such a good little boy this weekend and he is very cute, he repeats everything you say! Sometimes he likes getting his picture taken, sometimes he doesn't!
Our friends Kim and Mat came over for dinner this weekend as well. Here is Mat doing a great job with Mack's bottle!
Wow! 7 weeks old, it is amazing how much he has grown and changed! We are successfully implementing a "bedtime routine" in the hopes that Mack will sleep longer at night. So far he seems to be doing well differentiating between night and day, a change that has definitely come in the last week or two! We know his cries now, and it seems to be getting a little easier. Mack definitely whines more than he used to, probably because he knows mommy or daddy will be there to take care of him! He is smiling all the time, something he has been doing since 4 weeks old. I was hoping to get a picture of him smiling, but my camera skills are not the best. Each day is a joy with our little one.
It's so hot here in St. Louis, everybody just wants to "chill" in the basement! Who would want to wake up that angel face?
I feel bad that Piper has taken a back seat lately, so this post is especially for her. Pipes has been a wonderful dog and first baby for Ethan and I. Now she has taken on the role of Mack's protector, and she is very serious about her job! She hears his every cry and goes to check on him wherever he may be. When she wakes up in the morning, Mack is the first person she wants to check on in the house. These are just some cute pics I got of her showing her funny personality!
I cannot believe it has already been 6 weeks! Mack is now crying every time he has a wet diaper, and consequently LOVES getting his diaper changed. He also is happy to be in nothing but a diaper or his birthday suit, and could not look any cuter!
This weekend Aunt Avery came in town from NYC to meet her nephew. As all our visitors have done, Auntie Avery helped me out tremendously and enjoyed getting to know little Mack! We also managed to have a girls dinner to celebrate my birthday a little late. Thanks to Daddy for watching the baby A LOT this weekend!
Well finally I am 30 yikes! Reflecting on my birthday this year, I couldn't be happier where I am in my life having a wonderful husband and beautiful baby boy to celebrate with. Our friends Lisa and Brent came over and brought us dinner this week. Little Mack was happy to be held as always. Piper was also happy to be held!
Today I am 5 weeks old on my mommy's 30th birthday! What a perfect gift I made for her and my daddy this year! Last night I slept in two 4-hour increments so my parents sure hope I keep it up! I just get cuter by the day, and am really loving getting my diaper changed. I still have mixed feelings about my bath. My puggy Piper is still cute as well!
We had friends Todd & Melissa over for the 4th of July and Aunt Leslie. Mack was very good and did not want to nap inside, instead he wanted to hang with the adults outside. Even the fireworks in the neighborhood did not scare him!
This year was Mack's first 4th of July. We celebrated by going to our neighborhood parade with Aunt Leslie, who was in town from Albany. Mack was very generous and shared his popsicle with big sister Piper!
Today I turned 4 weeks old! I am still sleeping 2-3 hours at a time at night, and I'm a little fussy! I sure am cute though. I am liking my baths better and have enjoyed all of the attention I've been getting from visitors!
