10 weeks old!!

Baby Robert is now 10 weeks old! How time flies. We are thinking he's near 13 pounds now and looking chubbier every day. He has been very vocal these past few days, some sounds sound like coo's and others sound like he's yelling at us. He's a halarious kid! Such a personality! I can tell he's going to be a smarty pants, just like his mommy. :)

He is getting much better with playing with his toys he talks to them and cat bat them and nearly get them every time he tries.

Oh yah, one more great thing to share.....HE SLEPT THRU THE NIGHT!! The past two nights, he has slept from 10pm to 5am, which is a slice of heaven for two tired parents! We could not be more proud! Not sure what we're doing right, but hopefully we can keep doing it! :)

8 weeks old!!

Robert is now 8 weeks old! He is smiling a bit more (still haven't been able to get a good photo though). He is growing strong, I'm thinking he's like 11 1/2 pounds now! He is already wearing 3 month clothes! I still don't understand how they come up with the sizing for these things. He is getting ready for Halloween and we just got our pumpkins yesterday, we will carve them sometime this week and take plenty of pics. During play time he can reach out and touch his toys more now, since his eye/hand coordination is imporoving and he gets a kick out of it when he makes them move. Overall he is proving to be a pretty fussy boogar, but everyday he gets better. :) This week he has been doing about 5 hour sleep stretches, so hopefully that will get longer and longer, or at least stay at 5! :) We figured out that if we top off his feeding RIGHT before bedtime, he holds out longer! Way to go buddy!!

Baby Robert 7 weeks

6 weeks old!

Baby Robert is doing great! He can roll from his back to his left side, so that is impressive, he hasn't smiled yet (only when he's falling asleep) but that should happen VERY soon! I will capture that moment for sure and share it with everyone. He is not sleeping through the night yet, but he let's us have a 4 hour stretch and then a 2 1/2 hour stretch, so that is nice of him. :)

We are just doing our thing during the day, eating, pooping, peeing, playing, sleeping, strolling and then eating again. So we are having a good ol' time. :) I only have 6 weeks left to hang with him so we better live it up! I'll post more pics during the week.

Faces of cuteness

5 weeks old!!

So we have been lucky enough to have a neighbor right across the street that had a baby girl in July. It has been nice to talk to her about our sleepless nights and everything else that is going on with Baby Robert. She goes back to work on Monday (bummer) but we will still walk when she gets off work. :) Robert is doing great, he weighed 9 lbs on Monday and is still eating like a champ. He slept for a 4 hour stretch last night, so that was AWESOME!! Hoping for some more of those nights. :) Here are a few pics, that is his girlfriend Evie in the stroller next to him. Her full name is Evelyn.

1 month old!!! Tomorrow...

Finally home at 3 weeks old!!!!

So our cutie patootie finally got to come home on Friday, September 18th, 3 weeks after his birth to the day! We are sooo very happy and feel soo very lucky to have him in our lives. Aside from being a zombie from lack of sleep (hospital schedule) and a constant milk machine, things are going great! We went to the pediatrician this morning and he weighs 8 lbs 2 ounces (he was down to 6 pounds 7 ounces in the NICU) and he's growing strong, eating like a true champ! (just like his mommy). Thank you everyone for all your well wishes and prayers, I know they helped in getting our boy home with us. :) Much love to you all.

Robert at 2 weeks!!

1 week 6 days old! Almost time to come home!!

If all goes as planned, we expect Baby Robert to come home early to mid next week! :) Keep your fingers crossed. :) Here is the cutie patootie in clothes, first time EVER!
