our little guy

alright i know it has been forever since we have posted any pics. im super sorry but sometimes life just doesn't give ya time to do what ya want to right? our not-so-little baby boy is now almost six weeks old. he is a wopping eleven pounds and who knows how tall. all i know is when he stretches out straight he fits into his nine month clothes! at church last week an elderly man asked if he was the same age as his three month old cousin sitting next to him, and she is no small baby either ha ha. needless to say, he is really working on my arm muscles, but i wont complain about buff arms :) i have quite a few pictures here but they are over a span of about three weeks. this one is just for you all to get a good look at him and how much he has changed already.
every time we go to grandma hebdon's house he sleeps on the banana chair tipped all the way back. it's the only place we have found in the family room that he will sleep forever (except for grandma's lap)

he has to be able to see things or he gets mad. his favorite thing is the lights and the ceiling fan.

before we turned the heat back on, our house was pretty cold. we had to keep auger bundled up pretty good and he would scream every time we changed his diaper lol. on the good side though, he sure slept good for those couple of days :)

he was not a fan of baths for a really long time as you can see and he would scream through most of it. if one of us was not holding his hand in the bath tub he would freak out and flex every muscle in his body so his arms and legs were sticking straight out. but lucky for us we have learned a few tricks and last night we made it through an entire bath with zero screaming :)

not a fan of changing his clothes either

here he is with daddy a few days ago. he is to the age now where he wants someone to be talking to him all the time.

jolyn and i took him on his first real walk last week. it was pretty cold so she pulled out her little baby bag that she got in england and a beanie for him. we wrapped him up real good and walked for almost an hour down to the post office and back. he absolutley loved it! he was awake the whole time and never got fussy at all and then was happy for like the next three hours it was amazing :)

he took a nap with uncle rick when he finally crashed that night

and finally, this is a picture from this morning. i was digging through all of thomas's baby stuff and found this little sweat suit :) now i just need a pic of thomas in it when he was a baby.

on other news, the harvesting is over. thomas and skyler worked on our deck yesterday and it is looking closer to being done. we are both teaching lessons on sunday. and next sunday is the blessing that yes you are all invited to. we will also be having dinner right after church.
