He's A Growing Boy!



Well I'm long over due for a new update. I can't believe how hard it is sometimes to even get on here to update my blog now with a baby. I didn't think it would be this hard. Before, I thought "I'll have a ton of time to do things after I have the baby and getting to stay home all day. I can update my blog more, work on my baby quilt, make curtains, do some spring cleaning and whatever else I want!" ........ Well I was completely wrong! I've not done any of those things... yet. Just as I start to do somthing, he starts crying or on somedays he just will not let me put him down. Oh well! It's still tons of fun being a mom and I have to keep reminding myself that he is only going to be little and cuddly once! I can't believe how big he is getting! He is 7 weeks old now and getting bigger every day. I've never seen a new born eat as much as he does! Andrew said it in a good way.... He can't run on 3/4 of a tank, he has to be full and topped off in order to be happy. I knew he was getting bigger but I didn't realize how big he was getting until I saw little Tanner, who was born last week. He was 8lbs 9oz and is itty bitty. I feel like I might break him. I can't remember Dallin being so tiny and he was actully alot smaller than Tanner. We weighed him the other day and he is now over 12 lbs. To me, since I'm with him all day everyday, he doesn't seem that much bigger from when he was born.... but he is! He also just started smiling about a week ago! And it was an actual smile, not the gassy smiles new borns give. It has been so much fun being a mom .... Maybe not so much at about 2 am and 4 am, but once we get through the night its much better. When we first brought him home I told him that I was really sorry, but he couldn't have any bothers or sisters. But I'm starting to change my mind. Not any time soon, but eventually!
