Three Weeks Old

Sweet baby boy...I can't believe you are already three weeks old!  We can already see little changes in you.  Your eyes are getting lighter, like your daddy's.  Your hair is getting lighter, like your mommy's.  You are getting stronger, and love to stretch out your little neck to look at things.  You especially like looking out the window or at the ceiling fan or at our faces.  We are learning that you don't want to have your arms swaddled while you sleep; you'd rather have them up by your face.  You are also showing some signs of growing out of that "newborn" stage:  you're awake more now, and have lost your umbilical cord stump thingy.  Your aunt Kathryn was quick to remind me that this was the last bit leftover from when you were in my belly (thanks, Kath :).

Hi everyone! 

We had a great week this week.  We went for your first little road trip....to Murfreesboro to do some shopping.  You took the opportunity to have your first blow out in the car, and daddy had to go buy you a new outfit while I fed you (in your diaper only) in the car.  It was quite the experience!  On Sunday, we celebrated Easter, and then you watched the Master's with daddy.  He's been looking forward to watching it with you since we found out that you were coming.  He can't wait until you two can play golf together.

You liked snuggling just as much as watching the actual golf. 

On Tuesday afternoon, your Great Grandparents and Aunt Barbara came to meet you.  You're my grandparents' first great-grandchild, and boy were they excited!

We always knew they were great, but now it's official 

Aunt Barbara (now GREAT Aunt Barbara)

On Wednesday, you had a long-awaited visit from your Mimi!  She's been so looking forward to meeting you, and I had to send her a picture every day from the time you were born until she could get here to squeeze you in person.
