My mom was in town last week and we had an amazing time! Seeing August with my mom was just the best. Now if only I could get my dad out here... ;)
August is already 6 weeks old and is getting bigger and doing more every day. He's been smiling since week one, but now he's starting to laugh and make the cutest sounds! Sometimes he looks like he really has something important to say. I have a feeling this boy is going to be a talker.
This past week has been a week of firsts (like most weeks with a baby I suppose ;)). August got to ride in his stroller for the first time and pretty much slept through the whole experience.
He did manage to wake up long enough to eat and poop on his dad ;) Which led to another first, first diaper change in public. I'm so glad my mom was with me cause she is a pro!
August also slept in his crib for the first time today during one of his afternoon naps.
Until now, I've kept him close while he sleeps just for ease and peace of mind. At night he sleeps in a bassinet next to our bed and for naps he sleeps pretty much wherever I happen to be when he falls asleep. I'm setting a goal to have him in his crib for the majority of sleep times by 3 months (especially at night). It'll be hard, but it'll make it a lot easier for me to get stuff done. I'm starting off slow and aiming for one nap in the crib a day and I will build on that until it's every nap and bedtime.
This past week I also had to pack away August's first round of outgrown clothes. At first I was getting worried because he was only outgrowing hats (he does have a big head), but now he's not fitting into his newborn clothes either. We are already in 3 month size clothes. August received so many cute outfits from people so it's been fun getting to use more of his wardrobe, but at the same time, it's sad packing those cute little pieces away. It's just proof that he's getting bigger and I want him to stay small and snuggley forever. Plus he can't wear his favorite hat anymore ;(
August is getting used to his hands and can now bring them up to his mouth and suck on them. He's also starting to grab onto things. I have a video of him "playing" with a rattle, but still no luck uploading it. Hopefully I can post it soon along with two really cute videos of him dressed as a bear and a turtle!
Yesterday, we went to visit our pals the Konte's and Jen got some really cute pictures of our babies playing together (aka laying on each other). I am horrible at taking pictures. I brought my camera, but never took it out. I'll have to wait till she posts those on facebook so I can get a copy and post those on here.
So, lots for you to look forward to ;)
