Turkey Day and other happenings

Here we are on our first Thanksgiving, Cyris is even covering himself up for the picture :)

Here is our chubby cheek baby! He got lots of Grandma snuggles on Thanksgiving

Aunt Gemma found him this reindeer coat thing to keep him warm, so cute

Our Friends Mikey and Whiteny came to visit, Cyris lovers them soooo much!

Cyris like to be under the table when I feed the baby, he stole the book and the burp cloth, silly dog

He is a pirate, Arrrgh!

All smiles!!

On November 20th Emmett turned one month old!! He weighed 9 lbs 6 oz and was 21.5 inches long!! He is getting to be such a big boy!

We are all doing good! Emmett is getting into a pretty good sleep pattern at night. He has gone 5 and 6 hours between feedings and he goes back to sleep really easily after I feed him. He has tummy troubles so the days can be a little rough. I hate it when he just screams and screams and get little tears in his eyes :(

Only 2 1/2 weeks until the semester is over. Some how me and Greg have survived the semester!!

3 weeks old!

We have made it to 3 weeks! I cannot believe Emmett has been in our lives for that long! He is such a sweet little boy. He only fusses when his tummy hurts so in our house we are grateful for gas drops :). He spends half the day awake and the other half asleep so that is pretty good. He is a good sleeper at night, he eats every 2-4 hours and is usually pretty coopretive in going back to sleep after he eats. He giggles all the time in his sleep and has the funniest facial expressions. He thinks his tongue is really cool and is working hard on getting his thumb in his mouth. He has gained a pound since last week which is crazy!! He is getting so big and I love it but at the same time wonder where my little baby from the hospital is :). Greg and I are a pretty good team! We are all a little tired but a happy little family!!

The Sleepy Wrap

My sleepy wrap came yesterday and I will tell you right now it is the most awesome thing in the universe!! Look how snugly Emmett can be but I still have my hands free to get stuff done!! I would recommend this to any of you moms out there!

2 Weeks Old

2 weeks old!

After his bath, poor little baby was shivering so bad!

As of yesterday Emmett is two weeks old!! The good news is we are all still alive, a little sleepy and wondering when we will get in a routine/normality in our lives but happy and healthy! Emmett has been such a good baby. We have had our rough days and night but overall we he is a good baby. He isn't the best napper during the day but sleeps really well from about 7 pm to 2 am and then has some rough spots from 2 am until I decided to finally call it the start of the day (between 7 and 8 am). He just wants to eat more often then and doesn't want to go to sleep on his own. I was trying so hard to get him on a routine where he ate every 3 hours and didn't sleep right after I fed him. I was trying to follow the baby whispere but Emmett really just has a mind of his own and trying to make him do things just made him really mad so we stopped that. The doctor says not to worry about getting him a schedule and feed him when he is hungry. We have been a much happier family since we started doing that. Sure it is a little frustrating not knowing exactly our routine everyday but he generally follows the same pattern so it is okay. At his appt. today he weighted 7 lbs 13.5 oz and is 20.75 inches long. I can't believe he is getting so big!! Guess I don't have to worry about his eating :)
