6 weeks old!

My little boy is six weeks old! And growing like a bad weed!!! He went for his six week shots and we learned that he is 10.5 pounds and 21 1/4 inches long!! He had a major growth spurt. He did good when he got his shots, only cried for a minute, but later cried and cried because his little legs hurt =( Here are a few pics from the last week or so...

Nothing like a good stretch to start the day...

Sorry this one is a little fuzzy, he was really wiggly and playing...

Joseph is smiling at his great-grandmother!

One Month Old!!!

Well is has been a whirl wind month! Had a baby, celebrated Christmas and the beginning of a new year! Joseph is growing and changing every day. He probably weighs close to 8 lbs, is about 20 inches, eats 3 oz every three hours and he is beginning to be more alert during the day. His nights are still a little inconsistent. On average he goes to bed around 10:45 after eating, and sleeps until about 2 am. He is back in bed by about 2:30 and if we're lucky he sleeps until 6:30.

Three weeks old!

At three weeks old, Joseph enjoyed his first Mississippi State football game. He was ready to cheer on the bulldogs with his own little cow bell and MSU outfit!

Joseph's Two week check up

We went for Joseph's two week check up on Monday and he is doing great! He weighed 7lbs 8 oz! Considering that we left the hospital weighing 6lbs 7oz I would say that he is making up for lost time! He was 20 inches long, which is a 1/4 longer than when he was born! The doctor noted how strong he was...good head control and that he has already learned to roll to one side! So great visit and we go back in a few weeks for his six week shots =(

Joseph's Frist Christmas

We had a very merry Christmas! It was laid back and filled with love. Joseph got lots of presents from Santa, a.k.a., his wonderful grandparents, aunts and cousins! And from the look on his face I would say he enjoyed his day!

Two weeks old!

Wow, time does fly! Everyone says that, but only now do I truly understand! It is hard to believe that Joseph has been in this world for two weeks now! My cousin Caroline came and took some pics for us to document the occasion and for me to use for our announcements! Here is a sneak peek! For those of you who don't know, I had a mold of my pregnant belly made into a bowl when I was about 35 weeks along. I put Joseph in the bowl for these pics to show how he has grown! Hard to believe that all that baby fit in my belly!

One week old!
