3 Weeks Old- August 30th

Ethan is 3 weeks old today...and it's his Papa's birthday. So here are some pics to track his progress, his mommy is TERRIBLE at trying to do a photo shoot with him, but we'll keep working at it.

Day on the Town

Ethan and I went out running errands today to get ready for our weekend in Fayetteville and get stuff for my dad's birthday. So I put him in a real outfit instead of his usual sleep and plays and I just thought he looked too cute to not take a picture. Thanks to Kevin and Khaki for the cute overalls!

First stroll

So this took a while to get on here...but we took Ethan for his first stroll through the neighborhood last sunday night. He really seemed to enjoy it, and thankfully the mosquitos were only interested in me and Brandon and not Ethan. Notice his football outfit....this is FOR SURE a football household, so he is wearing his touchdowns outfit in honor of Sunday Night Football which we enjoyed as a family after our walk. :)

2 Weeks Old (yesterday)

Yet again...I know 2 weeks is NOT a long time, but it's amazing to me how much a baby can change in such a short time. He is so much more alert and I swear he's already getting bigger. Brandon thinks he will have gained a pound by his 1 month appt! Today we played with the gym Aunt Laura gave us and I was surprised to see him already batting at the toys and following their movement! Then Laura and my mom both came over to visit and you can see the days activities just wore him out!

New Routines

This is a normal morning in our house now. Brandon does some paperwork from home and hangs out with Ethan while I get an extra nap for getting up with Ethan during the night and a shower if I'm lucky :) Then there's our little cutie in his hooded towel for the first time. It swallows him, but it was too cute not to take a pic!

One Week Old

I know a week isn't a long period of time, but it's so hard to believe that Ethan is already a week old. Yesterday we went for our 1 week check up and everything checked out well. He weighs in at 10 pounds and gave us the delightful treat of 3 diaper changes while we were there....but it was fun all the same.

Ethan's Going Home

Here's our final moments in the hospital, finally. We are loading up this precious boy and heading for home. He slept in his crib first thing! Ethan already loves his room and being home, away from all the chaos of the hospital.
