Ok so I have fallen behind a tad....

OK so I haven't kept up as much as I thought I would. Breastfeeding is totally to blame!! I swear every time I am finished, and get my head together to what I have to do, I come upstairs and sit down and it's time for him to eat again...so since he is doing pretty good at getting on a little routine at night--I thought I would come and try to get a little updating done in this 3 hour stretch...
I haven't been doing so hot at taking pictures either...I really need to get better at that!! I do have some though of some recent things...he is a growing boy..I was looking at the pictures that I do have and noticed that he doesn't even fit into his newborn onesies anymore, and hasn't for over a week.

Here he is still in his little onesie...he can't fit in these anymore :( !! Growing boy!!!


Sleep, sleep with daddy.

So his umbilical cord took the absolute maximum amount of time to fall off. "1 - 3 weeks. " It was exactly three. I was so excited because I wanted to give him a real bath... with milk all over his face, and 35 doo doo diapers a day ( a little exaggeration ) I didn't think the sponge bath was cutting it. I thought he would like it...

So I started getting him ready....


Ok so I was wrong.


He screamed...

and screamed....

and screamed!!! haha poor little guy...

Content, and CLEAN, with mama!
Just a little info..he does love his baths now. I do it in his bather upstairs...I just think he hated the sink. He is actually getting his routine down good. He has a bath between 6:30 and 7:00; then eats, then goes to bed!!

He loooves to sleep with his arms in the touchdown position!!

Today he had his 1 month check up!! Time is flying by!! He weighs 9.72 pounds!!! He did soo good and only cried for a second when he got his shot.

He was such a big boy!

His boo boo.

Now time for a nap!
I will try and be a little better at keeping things updated. A lot of it will probably be a major post with lots of pictures!! As soon as his newborn pictures come in, I will put those up here. They are awesome!!!!

He's HERE!!!!!

Well Nolan made his debut a little early and arrived exactly 2 weeks early on August 10!!! It has been so amazing, he is just so precious and sweet. We are adjusting quite well....Grandma is here and we will have more help the next two weeks, so we will see how it goes after everyone is gone, but it has not been bad at all! Sleeping is a little challenging because he doesn't like to sleep by himself at night...he has to be held, which goes against everything I ever thought I would do. I do not let him sleep IN the bed though. He is on my chest with my boppy under him for support so he won't move, and I sleep sitting up... hopefully he will do a little better so I don't have to worry so much.
Here is Nolan very fresh!!

This is going home outfit #2...not very interesting. Right before we were about to leave he poopied, and when he was getting changed he peed all over his daddy, and all over his outfit...
We went for a little check up yesterday. He weighed 6lbs. 4 oz, and his jaundice levels were very low. His collar bone is also doing just fine. It broke when he came out :( . He is doing excellent at breastfeeding and showed off for the nurse at his appointment. He ate soooo well, burped good, and pooped three times while we were there!

After the appointment we went to visit Aunt Dara and cousins Jackson, Hailey and Grady. Everyone wanted to hold him, especially Hailey.
She was sooooo excited when she finally got to.
He is usually pretty peaceful....
Especially when he is sleeping on his daddy's chest!
