Five Weeks Old

I am determined not to let my weeks get too far behind...so here is Week 5!

Tyler had Good Friday off of work, so we enjoyed a quiet day at home for the start of our long weekend. Saturday was Hayden's 1 Month Birthday...I can't believe we're already there!! I grabbed a few pictures of him with the "H" block from his wall. He is wearing the same outfit he wore home from the hospital. The arms finally fit without having to be rolled up but the legs are getting a little too short...especially when he stretches all the way out. Looks like we will be making the transition to 0-3 month clothes VERY soon!

I could not get him to look at the camera for the life of me, but we will take them!

Hayden stayed with his first non-family member babysitter on Saturday night and he did GREAT! I was able to meet some fabulous friends out for dinner, who I haven't seen in a long time. I had too much fun catching up and laughing as we remembered great times.

We had some quick visitors on Sunday morning before we headed back home for a busy day! 

We enjoyed the nice weather by going for a walk and grabbing dinner outside. Then we headed to the grocery store to shop for the week and by that time, Hayden was happiest when Tyler was pushing the cart up and down the aisles while I did the shopping.

On Tuesday Tyler headed out of town for work, and Hayden and I went to the pediatrician for his 1 month checkup. He is now 21 1/2 inches long and he weighs 8 pounds 6 ounces. He is perfectly proportional, so they are thrilled with how he is growing. It was nice to hear that we don't need to make any changes to his feeding...gold star for Mom and Dad! He is still hanging in his newborn size outfits, but I think we will be making the transition to 0-3 month clothes next week. He is also still in newborn diapers, but those seem to be fitting him quite nicely for now. For the most part we are getting up once in the middle of the night for a feeding, so we are very grateful for those 2 chunks of time for sleep! He is really focusing when he plays on his mat and he cries to let us know when the music stops. He is also checking out everything around him while he is awake and we are really starting to get some more frequent smiles. I haven't been able to catch one with the camera yet...but I PROMISE I am on a mission so stay tuned. Even bath time is getting a little better and snuggling in our arms is still his favorite place to be!!
