Third Week Milestones

Mikey's spending more time awake now. We love getting pictures of him with his eyes open.


He is now sleeping in his crib every night (as opposed to the bassinet in our bedroom). I like how tiny he looks for his MINI crib in the shot above. Where is he??


Oh, there he is.


He gets to take actual baths now instead of sponge baths since his umbilical cord finally fell off and his circumcision is all healed. I hope he forgives me for putting a naked picture of him up... but at least it's not a close-up, right? Look how small he is compared to his daddy! Mikey loves hanging out in the warm water.


Getting his shampoo rinsed off... happy as a clam. Today when Kevin and I were bathing him, we had to change the bath water three times because Mikey decided to pee and poop three times in the bath water! Little stinker. We didn't take pictures of that bath. :)


The only part of bathtime that Mikey doesn't like is getting out. That's when he starts to complain. Can't blame him. I hate getting out of a warm bath too.


First trip to a National Park! We took him to Canyonlands NP yesterday (Friday) and he loved it! Well, he slept 90% of the time in the car and at the park, but we could tell that the few times he opened his eyes, he was loving it! We can't wait until he can support the weight of his own head so we can take him on some longer hikes in a child carrier.

This is how Mikey hikes right now. He rides in style. He loves that sling! He falls right to sleep when I put him in and start walking. There was still snow on the ground up there in a lot of places, but the weather was beautiful. The high was in the upper 50s and the sun was shining all day. Perfect hiking weather!


My hands-free bundle of joy. Notice I'm wearing my Chacos. That means spring is coming! Oh, it makes me so happy!


Last but not least, we just LOVED this photo. I'm considering making it into a baby announcement. What do you think?

I don't blame you for loving all those pictures of him. He's SO adorable! I love the ones of him on the blanket in nature. The one of he and Kevin sleeping is way too cute. Your two boys Jamie. ;) Hehe.

Scarlett always fell right to sleep in her sling, as well.
Love the announcement photo!

Shawn said...

Those pictures are GREAT! I thought you photoshopped him in there but I think they might be real, huh? I need copies!

Meg said...

That would be a great announcement!
Peter screams bloody murder throughout the entire bathing experience :) He does not at all like being naked, not even to get his diaper changed! So glad Mikey is calm for you, even if he does give the occasional potty mess.
