A Whole New World...

So, it's been a while since I've updated. I've forgotten all about our blog these past few weeks...between washing bottles, feeding, changing diapers, rocking baby boy, washing clothes, giving baths...there hasn't been a lot of time to update!

Jaxson is doing wonderful and growing so so fast! His first doctor's appointment was February 1, 2010 and he still weighed 7 lbs 12 oz. His second doctor's appointment was February 23, 2010 and he weighed 9 lbs 1 oz and was 20 1/4 inches long. He is finally able to wear some of his 0-3 months clothes. I packed up his newborn clothes last night :( It was sad to pack them up but het has soooo many outfits that I can't wait for him to start wearing them! The first couple of weeks the way he looked seemed to change everyday. Now he is beginning to fill out. He had his first photo session on Friday, March 5. He was 5 weeks old. They turned out so cute even though he wasn't very excited for the most part of the session. I think he's going to be very photogenic :)

We go through about 84 diapers every 2 weeks and a can of formula every 5 days...he just started taking 5 ounces of formula so it won't be long before he takes a whole bottle! I remember when he was only taking 2 ounces...the feedings were much quicker then! He does really well during his feedings though and doesn't spit up a lot. Emmett and I are still adjusting to our new schedule. I guess our bodies will eventually get used to only getting about 2 or 3 hours of sleep at a time. I don't know how I'm going to do it when I go back to work! I think I have learned that I was not meant to be a stay-at-home mom...or maybe I just need more hobbies!

Yesterday the weather was wonderful with the temperature around 72 degrees. We took Jaxson for a walk around the neighborhood. I can't wait for Spring/Summer so we can get him outside more! I will go back to work March 22, 2010 and Jaxson will start daycare March 29, 2010. Nana Shaff will keep him my first week back at work. It is going to be really hard to leave him but I'm ready for a little change in pace.

Here are a few pictures from the last 5 weeks
