New Pictures of my boy

Aaron says: I love Tummy Time!

This is his "WTF?" face.

Aaron likes naps in his chair. Like his Grandpa K.

This week's mommy lesson

Bouncy chair=baby laxative

A will go #2, and disgustingly so I might add, while sitting in his bouncy chair.

We had to wash the cover of it (and him in the bathtub) on the weekend after a particularly messy blowout.

No need for exlax in this house. Just sit in the bouncy chair.

My kid is a tank

We had his one month appointment (at 5 weeks, Dr was on vacation last week).

As I'm putting A on the scale, I tell the doctor he "has to be at least 10 pounds now!" The doctor measures him on the scale, then grabs the calculator to do the conversion from grams to pounds.

"So you think he's 10?" He says.

"Try 12."

12? 12! Holy crap, 12!

He didn't measure his length, I'm going to do it myself today, because I swear he's grown a couple of inches too.

So my kid isn't fat. He's tall and chubby. Right? :)

My child is spoiled

Spoiled rotten.

The way things are going, I am not going to have to buy clothes for him until he's 18 years old. For realz.

Aaron met my mom's side of the family this weekend and he was a hit with the ladies. He's turning out to be quite the ladies man.

Case in point of spoiled rotten status: Chillin' in his bouncy chair with his "Air Jordans" from Uncle Daryl and Auntie Sarah.

1 month old today

How time flies!

Someday, I'll blink my eyes and my little man will be going off to University or College!

Everybody needs to have a bathtub picture when they are a baby. This is one of the few times Aaron hasn't screamed his head off in the bathtub. It's a miracle we even got this picture!

This week's mommy lesson

When baby has been napping for an extended period, go have a quick shower. And I emphasize quick, because your LO will know the instant you step in the shower and start crying. It's the murphy's law of motherhood.

Showering in under 5 minutes is a special talent that only new mothers possess.

4 weeks ago

4 weeks ago today the best thing ever happened to us.

First photo with mom:

First photo with Dad:

Let's compare pictures, shall we?

Picture comparison time.

Here is 38 weeks pregnant...

Here is 3 weeks post-partum... 10 pounds above my pre-pregnancy weight. not bad at all!

And for good measure... the first smile we've caught on camera...

Mommy lessons of the week

Being a newb to the mommy club, I'm learning things on a daily basis.

Here is what I have learned this week (usually the hard way).
~it's time to go up to the next size of diapers when A pees through 4 sleepers over the course of a night and/or has near major poop leakage out the sides
~I never thought I'd be the kind of mom to count down until the husband gets home, but a couple of days alone already and I am that mom
~gripe water is the bomb

Professional Photo Proofs!

OMG... I'm in love with these pictures. My little man looks so freaking cute!

This is just a small taste of the pictures too.

And our first official family photo:

Some new pictures

Like a true mom, I love to share pictures of my kid. Here are some I just downloaded from the camera tonight.
