Entering week six...and excited about that!!

Last night Hunter posted some new photos on the site. We had been a little too busy to keep up with getting our hundreds of photos downloaded!! It is amazing how many pictures there are of this guy and he is only over five weeks old. As he is growing, things seem to be getting a bit easier and settling into more of a routine. He is one little muscle of a baby now (hunter calls him a little sausage) and is over 10lbs. I encourage him to gain the weight to help him be healthy and sleep more but it does wear me out having to feed him so much! I think he is starting to sleep more and sleep in a more predictable pattern which is very nice. He still eats about every 3 hours in the night but every now and again we get a 4 hour break. And, thanks to his Nana for staying up and feeding him at 1am friday and saturday night this weekend. That let old mom get some extra sleep!!

We took our first out of town trip with Wake to columbia this weekend. It is amazing how much stuff you have to load up for something that weighs 10 lbs.!! We got to meet up with baby Lily Livingston who is 2.5 weeks old now. We really loved getting to see her, chris, and lisa. She is a little doll with more blond hair than I have ever seen. We also got to see Miss Lilah who has grown up so much and is becoming such a big, pretty girl. It is so much fun to see all our friends as parents and get the babies together. It will be so much fun as they get older. From the photos posted you can also see that Wake got to meet his great grandfather, great aunts and cousin erin. He just had a busy, busy weekend.

Life is different now and certainly revolves around Mr. Wake. But, we are having a good time and love watching him grow. There just is nothing as sweet as watching a little baby sleep. They make the cutest faces in their sleep and that is enough to put a smile on any face. We are looking forward to each new daily adventure as we continue to tackle parenthood...
