7 weeks & 3 years!!

It is crazy to think that our little peanut was born 7 weeks ago today.  We can't imagine what life was like without him.  He is growing like a weed and we have started to wear some of our 0-3 month clothes, although they are still a little big~ he doesn't look ridiculous.  Adrian still fits into his newborn clothes, although they are getting a bit tight length wise, especially when in our cloth diapers (more on these in a latter post).   We decided to get some updated measurements of Adrian today....he is now: 8 lbs. 3.2 oz. and 22 inches.  Wow!!

It has been great fun to watch Adrian grow and develop in the last couple of days.  We frequently get genuine smiles and get to watch him have interest in some of his toys.  He greatly enjoys his mobile above his changing table which has made diaper changes not quite as traumatic. 

Today we pulled out another one of his toys and as you can see below he greatly enjoyed it!

 

Today is also our 3 year anniversary!  It is crazy to think about all the things that have changed in that time--everything from our relationship, our family structure, technology, etc.  We are taking our first date away from Adrian tonight and heading out to dinner.  It should be fun!  Here is a look back at our wedding 3 years ago.  It was an awesome day filled with awesome people.  We had the best wedding party and family there to help us celebrate.  Thank you all again, even 3 years later I wouldn't change a thing!

We are a growin'....

Things have been good around here.  We are working really hard to get on a schedule of sorts.  It is working pretty good, except whenever we seem to have it down, we seem to hit another roadblock.  The first one was our first cold.  Poor Adrian had a snotty nose, and is NOT a fan of the nose suction.  After about 3 days, we seem to have gotten over that, and have now hit another growth spurt and need to eat constantly!  It is nice though that Kyle is doing one feeding during the overnight hours--but we are still eating about every 3 hours through the night.  Kyle and I are hopeful that we are pushing towards longer chunks of sleep soon though.  :)

My guess is that we are boarding on about 7.5 lbs.  We will be doing official measurements soon, I promise.  Adrian is fitting nicely into his Newborn clothes, and there are things that are boarding on getting tight, but for now we still our rockin' the newborn clothes.  Kyle is saying that we aren't going to hit our 3 month clothes until almost 6 months...we will see!

 Adrian seems to enjoy his nuk at times.  He enjoys cuddling during nap time, especially since there is frequently no sleeping.  I don't mind the cuddling though!

One of the many faces of Adrian!
