Daddy's little Buckeye!

2 months old!

Daniel is 2 months old now and he is growing. He is making all kinds of cooing sounds and occasionally shouts some kind of baby language out! He smiles so much now and I must say its the cutest smile I've ever seen! At his 2 month check up he weighed 14.6 lbs and was 24 inches long!! Hes a big boy! It was funny sitting in the newborn waiting room with him at the Dr's office because he looked twice the size of all the babies in there! He's healthy though so we are blessed! He got one shot and boy he didn't like it but with a little comforting from mommy he was ok! He's sleeping alot better at night which mommy and daddy are loving! Mommy actually got 8 hours of sleep the other night...boy was it great! He doesn't cry much unless he is hungry or wet and during those times you better fix it quick or he's gonna let you know just how mad he is! He is starting to lift his legs up when he is laying on his back and he kinda rolls to one side but not all the way over yet! He loves his mobile in his crib, he lays in there in the morning while mommy gets ready for work and he will just laugh and talk to the mobile, its so sweet! We had to go through all of his clothes because almost everything we had was too small. He is wearing 6 month onesies and shirts and 3 month pants ( his has short legs but a really long body) like his daddy! We purchased a jogging stroller so we're able to take Daniel on walks around the neighborhood! He does pretty well, the last walk I took him on he slept the whole time! When we sit him on our lap now he holds his head up pretty well, its so cute and he looks like a little man! Well thats all for now, we will update again soon as I'm pretty sure he's going to start doing all sorts of fun things before we know it! Have a blessed Day and thanks for following little Daniel, our blessing from God!

6 weeks 4 days

Daniel is grOWING! He has started smiling, which enough to melt your heart!! He is quite the little eater too, the boy can put down some milk! Mommy can't keep up so he does get some formula which he doesn't seem to mind! He is still isn't sleeping through the night, if we are lucky he will sleep 4 hours straight but thats rare! We did take Daniel on his first walk around the block yesterday, the sun was shining and it was around 60 degrees so we ventured out and it was nice to get some fresh air and sunlight! Definately think we will be upgrading his ride to a jogging stroller for a bit of a smoother ride though, with our regular stroller it was kinda bumpy. Daniel is outgrowing most of his 0-3 month clothes and is wearing 3-6months clothes now. We are so blessed to have him in our lives and we are so excited about watching him grow and sharing him with you! Thanks for reading!

1 month old tomorrow!

My how time flys! Daniel will be one month old tomorrow! He is growing! I would guess that he is at lease 11 pounds or more by now. We don't have another Dr's checkup until February so we won't know for sure until then. Daniel is smiling alot more but hasn't smiled as a response to us yet, from what I read that is coming soon. We aren't in a too much a routine yet, everyday is different right now. Right when we think we have him down pat and know his schedule he switches it up on us. He does pretty good at night, most nights only waking up twice a night! I still sometimes wonder what is so appealing about a clean diaper that makes him want to poop 5 seconds after I put a clean one on him! Guess thats what babies doo! We are thoroughly enjoying each day with Daniel and love watching him grow! Thats all for now! I'm sure these post will become more interesting as Daniel grows and starts to do more thing! Have a Blessed Day and thanks for reading!

LORD, you are my God;

for in perfect faithfulness
   you have done wonderful things,
   things planned long ago.

Who knew how much your life could change in 2 weeks time! 1/2/10

I just wanted to create a blog to let family and friends know how we are doing and share pictures and moments of Daniel!
So Daniel is 2 weeks and 3 days and he has stolen our hearts! We are so in love and so exhausted! Daniel still has his days and nights mixed up and sleeps most of the day and is awake often during the night. He loves to eat and its a great bonding time for him and mommy! Although I have to wake him up several times during a feeding because he falls asleep. Dan is loving being a daddy and has totally emersed himself in the role, he is such a big help and he does it all. He changes diapers and even has gotten peed on! Speaking of which it is tricky to change a little boy without him peeing on himself as we learned the other day when he peed on himself and got some on his face!! yuck I know! Dan does the baths and I'm just there to console Daniel as he doesn't like bathtime too much at all. We are still sponge bathing being that his belly button cord hasn't fell off yet! At the last Dr's appt Daniel weighed 10.6lbs! Well thats all for now, I will try to update as often as possible and post pictures along the way!
