8 weeks old

Kevin is 8 weeks old today....so hard to believe. And to celebrate the milestone - Kevin rolled over. He was laying on his tummy in his crib and rolled over onto his back. Such a big boy! I don't think he knows what he did so it'll be interesting to see how long it takes him to do it again - but the fact that he did it made us proud.

I am wrapping up my time at home with Kevin and tonight is the last night that I get up with him for 3am feedings (at least until this weekend!) I can't believe I was home for 8 weeks. I am ready to get back into a routine and I look forward to Ben being at home with Kevin. He's going to have so much fun.

Oh...and an update on Kevin's schedule. He takes a 9:00pm bottle and sleeps until 3:00am and then wakes up again for a bottle at 7:00. He's followed this schedule for a week now so I am calling it official. He eats and naps around the same time every day. He's such a good baby.

New pics and cute video

Kevin is smiling so much now it makes taking pictures so much fun! Check out the video to see how good he's talking....

11 lbs 11 oz

Kevin weighed in today at 11 lbs 11 oz and measured 23 inches....He's getting so big! We even had to trade in his size 1 diapers for a size 2. His new thing is smiling and talking. He smiles for us all the time - espcially when he wakes up. He's so cute and so much fun. He's also sleeping for one 6 hour stretch during the night. He's eating every 4 hours the rest of the day. Is this an actual schedule we're on? If he's still doing this in a week we'll call it official.

I go back to work next Wednesday so Ben is preparing to be a stay at home dad for 3 months. He already does so much around the house - but now he's doing more with Kevin to make sure he's ready when I'm gone. He wore the infant carrier with Kevin last night and prepared dinner, vacuumed and helped me straighten up the house....it was too cute! Kevin is absolutely fasinated with Ben. They are going to be great together.

A special congrats to my friend Sarah who welcomed her new baby on Christmas Day! We can't wait to see sweet baby Olivia.

Kevin's 1st Christmas

Kevin's 1st Christmas was wonderful! We spent Christmas Eve with Ben's family (and found out that Kevin will have a new cousin next year....congrats Stephen and Amy!)

Christmas Day we went to my parents. Kevin was in such a good mood and didn't mind being passed around all day!

Here are some fun pictures of our Christmas.....

Updated Pictures...Finally!

A Sleeping Baby = A Happy Mommy

We've had such a busy week with our little man. I officially decided on Monday to put Kevin on formula. I am returning to work in 2 weeks and to be honest, I am exhausted! It was a hard but good decision. We've been able to get out this week and stay out for longer than 3 hours. We went Christmas shopping on Wednesday, visited with my friend Bryanna yesterday and we're going out again tonight. I am so happy and feel so much better. I'm getting more sleep at night and Kevin just seems more content.

A major plus to him being on formula...Ben gets to help with feedings. As a matter of fact, Wednesday morning..Kevin woke up and Ben got up to feed him. I slept until almost 11:00 that morning. It was great!!!! He's such a good husband and daddy.

I will post new pictures of Kevin shortly. He is waking up from his nap....

A look back....

Kevin will be 6 weeks old on Monday. It's so hard to believe! Ben and I had our official first date last night since Kevin was born. We went to Saltgrass and had a great time. My parents came over to watch Kevin. It was hard to leave him - even for a few hours but I figured I haven't left this little man since he was born and since I'll be returning to work shortly I needed to get used to it. We didn't call home once to check on him!!!! He was an angel for my parents and slept most of the time. It's great having family here to help out and love on Kevin.

Enjoy the pictures of my final months pregnant, Kevin's arrival and his first month just hanging out with us. He's changed so much and gets cuter every day. We're not bias or anything!
