two weeks old

well our little auger is two weeks old now. it flew by super fast but somehow it feels like we have had him with us for months now. he is a big sleeper as all new borns are and he makes all his crazy facial expressions mostly when he is asleep. these first three pictures were taken this morning. you can get a pretty good look at his giant eyes :)

he really likes to sprawl out and lay on his blanket when he is awake. however, as soon as he wants to sleep he insists on being wrapped up as tight as i can manage. i love his little tummy, its like a giant balloon that gets really hard and big after i feed him, the rest of him is still pretty skinny though.

this was his first bath two days after he got home from the hospital. as you can tell, it was a big hit :) he screamed through the whole thing but geez he sure slept good after that.

he has been sleeping almost six hours every night it has been awesome. we give him a bath every night to tire him out. his belly button is finally healed so last night thomas and i gave him his first real bath and he seemed to hate it a little less then his sponge baths.

several people have asked where we got his name, and honestly i had never heard of it either till i met thomas. auger is thomas' grandfather's middle name, which was his mother's maiden name. It is a little french and a little english. thomas introduced me to the name back when we were first married. we had talked about it being a middle name but then fell in love with it later on, and really liked the idea of naming our first son after an amazing man. his middle name, wayne, is both my dad and thomas' dad's middle names. crazy coincidence i know but it worked out well and once again we got to name him after some pretty awesome people. he has a lot to live up to now :)

as for thomas and i, we are loving being parents. he had to get up around 3 in the morning for almost all of last week and didnt get home till after dark tryin to get the harvesting done so naturally we are both pretty sleep deprived but that is what having a newborn is all about right :)
we are planning on blessing auger on november 1st. hope to see tons of you there.
