6 weeks

Kyle, you are 6 weeks old!

You had an exciting day today - you went to your first party for Emily's 4th birthday, where you slept in the Baby Bjorn the whole time and wore your first party hat (and made dad wear one too). Later, your cousins, auntie KK and Mammie came over to visit and give you lots of lovin.

party hats!

Every day is a new adventure with you since you're still learning what you like and what you don't. One day you love taking walks in the park, and the next day you cry the entire time! You are starting to like baths, but don't like the lotion part; you seem to like your diaper changed and love to lay on your changing table, where you stare at the picture of the Ferrari on the wall; you sometimes like tummy time and sometimes fight me the whole time; you like it when I sing you songs at night and usually love to take drives. You're starting to notice toys but aren't quite following them with your eyes yet. You still like your big swing, where you'll sleep for a couple hours in the afternoon. We're figuring it out together!

I'm so amazed by how strong you are. It seems like you were born holding your head up, and I can't believe some of the things you try and do. When I'm burping you on my shoulder it's almost like you're standing up on my tummy! You like to push off with your legs and hold up your body and look around. Strong boy! And your eyelashes seem to grow by the day - long and curly. I'm pretty jealous of them, actually.

This week we made a trip to Target and I don't think we'll be doing that again for a little while. Turns out you're not quite ready for shopping trips yet. Or maybe mommy isn't ready :)

Also this week we saw your first tear! You were crying in the car on our way home and a teardrop came out of your eye. Oh so sad.

Penny loves hanging out with her brother. When you're in the swing, she'll lay on the couch near you the entire time. And she loves laying on the blanket/mat with you - wherever you are, she's there keeping her eye on you!

Have you checked out our Shutterfly site lately? I just updated it with a bunch of photos from Kyle's birth and first month!

I'm 9lb 2oz, ouch!

making friends

Last night, Kyle met his GiGi (great grandma Harlow) for the first time, and mommy forgot to take a picture. Nerds! GiGi brought Kyle some sweet goodies and he loved looking at her glasses when she talked to him. Next time I'll take lots of pictures to make up for it.

Today, Kyle and I ventured out to our friends Anna & Emily's house for a few hours. It was one of those amazing "good baby" days! He fell asleep on me for an hour while I ate lunch, woke up happy, nursed under the hooter hider for the first time, tried out a new swing (and loved it!) and even smiled a couple times. I had the best time hanging out with him and chatting with my friends. Today my mommy confidence got a much needed boost!

Emily promised to teach Kyle how to play and blow bubbles when he's old enough.
