Seriously Where did the time go??? It's a amazing to think that Hunter is almost a month old already. These past 4 weeks have flown by in record time, I now know why everyone says to enjoy the time while they are little, cuz it doesn't last long. When we took Hunter in for his 2 week check-up- he tipped the scale at 9 pounds 1 ounce, still at 21 inches long, but getting stronger by the day. He's holding his head up really well, and likes to push off of who ever is holding him.
We had his newborn pictures taken at 2 weeks old- the girl who took them was a little unsure of how to handle such a little one, but we did manage to get a few good shots. We just need to get them printed and put in the mail for everyone.
We've settled into family life pretty well, this past week Hunter and I have gotten the hang of a "schedule" so to speak. He will go down for the night around mid-night, and sleep until about 5:30-6:00 am, he'll eat and get a fresh diaper and go back down for another 3 hours. From this point he is awake or taking very short "cat-naps" until about 3:00 pm where he will go down for what I like to call "big boy" naps about 3 hours, and then "cat-nap" here and there until mid-night. So it's nice to know that I have that 3 hour window of time in the afternoon to get dinner going, update the blog, and finish any laundry or cleaning that I didn't get done during the morning "cat-naps"
This past weekend we made our first trip back to Houston, and what a little trooper we had. Hunter did really well in the car and had no problems with all the loves he received from friends in Houston. Thanks everyone for welcoming us back and hanging out with us !!!! Below are some pictures to catch everyone up on Hunter over the past few weeks, hope you enjoy them.
