One Month Old!

Desmond is one month old already!? Wow! Four weeks I could handle, but one month is just too crazy.

I stopped into the doctor's office to have him weighed a few days ago- he's already a little over 9 lbs! I'm paranoid about him not gaining enough weight since Orion was underweight when he was little, so I'm keeping a close eye on this one! He's following the growth curve so far, so that's good!! Back to the doc in a month. He already moved up to size 1 diapers and I think he's going to need to be moved to 0-3 clothing soon!

He goes to the specialist tomorrow to check out his tongue (he's a bit tongue tied), so hope that goes well!


We spent the weekend visiting my family in Napoleon! We haven't been up there in months so it was nice to be home for a couple days. Orion had a BLAST playing cars and reading with his Grandpa and Nana... he never stopped playing the whole weekend.

Snuggling with Uncle Andy

Haha, this is our ghetto diaper. One of the tabs broke off and I didn't just want to throw it away, so Nathan taped it together. Ha!

The boys' first bath together! Immediately before this picture Desmond pooped all over me and the floor as I was carrying him to the tub. He pooped on me again the next day. And peed on me three times over the weekend. Orion has peed on me maybe four times EVER... Desmond has already done it probably a dozen times. Everybody has talents I guess...

This is Desmond's bed... otherwise known as his car seat. With a blanket in it. Last night he would not sleep in it, but is napping in it now... hm. He usually does really well at night but last night was really rough... pretty sure I slept for over an hour sitting up. Heh.

Nap time! As much as I wish Des would consistently sleep in his own bed I do love napping with my babies. I miss napping with O!

Today is hopefully going to continue to be a lazy day at our house. I need a nap!

I love all the new pictures! Those are some super cute boys! :-) Glad Des is gaining weight steadily. Are you nursing? Is that difficult with the tongue-tie issues?

I don't know that I've ever seen a picture of your brother. You guys look a lot alike!

Yep, I'm nursing. Thankfully the tongue tie hasn't really affected nursing much... I guess it's only a minor case so he's doing fine :)

Oh. My gosh. That. Is. Too much cuteness. For one post! Ahh!! The one of him on the couch?! Seems like yesterday you were posting those of o! Which, btw.. I don't think they look a bit alike! But both so stinkin cute!!!! The bath pic is hilarious... He looks like a babydoll! And yes, you can totally tell Andy is your brother :) we need to start bible study so I can see you more! I feel like I haven't seen you much :(
