The First Few Weeks of Life

I am a bit behind so here are a jumble of pictures of the first few weeks of CJ's life. Enjoy, I sure enjoyed all these moments!!

Enjoying lots of snuggle time!

Bath Time! He didn't like the first few sponge baths. But now that I can fill his little bathtub up with water and he can stay warm, he likes them now.

Best Buddies!

First trip to the doctor. He was born at 8.1 lbs. Left the hospital at 7 lbs 12 oz. and at his doctor's appointment one 4 days after he was born was back to 8.1 lbs. The doctor said everything looked great and he was a healthy little boy! We were so glad!

Rhona protecting the new member of the family.

I love seeing Jeff hold CJ. Nothing else like it!

Handsome boy!

Tummy Time. I love Rhona in this picture!

Rocko watching over CJ as well.

CJ talking to the angels. At least that is what my mom told me about my younger siblings when they were babies.

Story Time

Monkey Face

Big Yawn! This is our morning time together. He is most awake in the morning for a good hour or so. I love this special time he and I have together to talk and make funny faces (as you can see from the picture above this one).

I found my thumb!! He did indeed find his thumb one day all on his own. He sucked on it for a minute or so and then it hasn't happened again since. He has loved his pacifier which is fine, I prefer it.

Helping daddy with the laundry. He looks so tiny in his daddy's lap. Notice Rhona in the picture, a reoccurring theme. She definitely has been a little jealous of daddy's attention to CJ. She is her daddy's girl and misses his attention.

Grammie Debbie and CJ. Grammie Debbie came to visit for a few days and we had a great time.

CJ's first stroller ride. We hadn't gotten a big stroller yet so we made due with this little one. He looks a little funny all snuggled in there, but he liked it. I look forward to our weekly Sunday walks as a family.

The whole family! CJ a little over 3 weeks old here.
