One Month Old

Wow! Where has the time gone....Yesterday our little man turned one month old. He is so precious and has managed to capture my whole heart, even when he is screaming and not sleeping!!! This past month seems like a blur, and I have tried to take it all in and remember every moment since we wont get them back...this Saturday I plan to have pictures taken so we have our first family photo to remember this moment in time.

Things have been going really well, he is eating like a champ and growing every minute. I am not sure how much he weighs but Brian and I both think he is close to 10 lbs+. We officially retired his newborn clothes and are starting to work our way through the 3-6 months. I tried putting his sandals on him the other day but he kicked them right off so we may still wait on wearing shoes (I have been known to make socks disappear so I dont want to chance it with the shoes). Thayne has started to recognize things around him, he even plays with the rattles on his bouncy seat. It has been fun noticing how he reacts to light, and the sounds of our voices-he has even started to "talk" and "coo" which has been fun. The other day he was screaming and I was trying to get him to take a nap-I was getting frustrated (working on no sleep myself) and he just stopped, looked up, and smiled-it cracked me up!!! It also made me realize that God makes them cute bc that is their only self defense.

We look forward to what the next month will bring...we hope one of those things is more sleep!!!

Baptism

This past Saturday we had the pleasure of baptizing our son in the Catholic Church. June 13th 2009 Thayne was baptized at St Michael s Church in Gastonia. We had lots of family and friends come from near and far to share this special day with our little family. The ceremony was beautiful and Thayne was very well behaved...he even enjoyed all the company at our house after wards!

Here are some photos from Thayne's special day!

Just call me...."Mr Lunch Bucket"....

Thayne had his two week check up yesterday and he weighed in at 9lbs 2.5 oz and 22 inches long. So he has grown an inch and is a pound above birth weight and not even 3 weeks old yet....needless to say he is not starving!!! The Dr said he looked like a very happy healthy baby and they will check on him again the end of July. Now Mom is off to get some zzzzz's while the "lunch bucket" is sleeping.

Busy busy Bee...

Well Thayne's second week of life was pretty eventful! Mom was feeling much better so the family decided to head out last Wednesday night to the Gastonia Grizzlies baseball game. The Grizzlies train at our Physical Performance Center, and offer great family entertainment throughout the summer. Thayne slept through the entire game, but we still think he enjoyed it!



Saturday my friend Michelle had a pool/birthday party in Charlotte. We decided to take Thayne out and show him off...he wore probably my favorite outfit to date and was able to sport his cool shades! In my opinion he was the hottest guy at the pool!





Sunday night was bath night and thanks to Grandma DeHart and G.G. Aunt Nancy Thayne has two really cute bath towels. Grandma DeHart gave him the puppy dog one and Aunt Nancy made the yellow ducky....Thayne loves his baths but doesnt like being cold while mom and dad take pictures!!!





This week is set to be a busy one as well as we welcome back family from both sides and prepare for Thayne's baptism on Saturday. Things are going well and we are settling more and more into a schedule-which is nice for us all. I hope to update again soon.
