Pacifier!

My first tummy time...

At 5PM I'm usually a litte bored waiting for Daddy to get home so Mama put me on my tummy and helped me work off some energy.

This one is for Jason....

Jason always laughs so hard when Robert passes a little gas! I caught Robert making a diaper on camera if you listen carefully! We just love being parents. Robert makes us laugh so much!

Dear Aunt Rebekah,

Thanks so very much for lettimg me borrow Brock's soft, blue swaddler blanket. I love to wear it all the time. It keeps me so nice and warm! Please bring Brock and Evie to visit me again soon when you return from your vacation in Michigan.

Love,

Robert

I'm 2 weeks old today!

• At 10:57AM, Robert turned 2 weeks old!
• His umbilical cord fell off early this morning.
• We took him to the hospital to weigh him this afternoon. (They have free weight checks for babies every Saturday from 2-3PM.) Robert is 8 lbs and 1.7 oz! He's gaining weight like a champ.
• He's already had 3 changes of clothing by 4PM.
• He wore his "I love daddy" socks from Nanny today.
• He loves to lie on his back after a diaper change and make fun expressions!

hiccups!!

I look forward to every day with Robert! Tomorrow he is 2 weeks old! He has such a sweet countenance... he must have gotten it from Jason. Today he did so well on his "schedule". He ate at 7am, 9:30am. 12pm, 3pm, 5:30pm and hopefully will keep it up! Tomorrow he gets weighed again.

Merry Christmas!

We enjoyed a quiet, relaxing Christmas day. Although we really missed being with family, we are very thankful for our new little son! He slept 4 hours without waking up last night and is doing so well getting on an eating schedule!! It was close to 70 degrees this afternoon, so we took a short walk with Robert in the stroller. I ran out of groceries this week (it's harder to run errands!) so Jason had to eat spaghetti for dinner! Jason gave me such generous and thoughtful surprise gifts: Brooks shoes and a gift certificate to a hair salon!!

Christmas Eve

Arms!

Robert loves to extend his arms. He is just so cute! He is just starting to "uncurl" his legs every once in a while, but I just love it when he curls up his legs into a ball --- I call it his "mashed potato" position.

We drove to the York County Health Dept. to pick up Robert's birth certificate today! We're also trying to get into a feed/change/wake time/sleep time pattern. Robert and Jason took a nap this afternoon while Mom caught up on housework! The video is part of our "wake time"!

Robert had his first sponge bath today!

I love daddy.....

My First Sunday at Calvary Church!!

We took little Robert to church this morning! We weren't quite on time because he was a little hungry before hand, and we sat in the balcony, but Robert slept through most of church and all of Sunday School! It was so fun to let everyone see him! I've wished for this day for a long time.... he was in the bulletin today, too. Robert wore the slipers, pants, and onesie from Nanny!

We had some visitors!

Thank you for my Clemson Tigers shirt, Uncle Daniel and Aunt Candice! I wore it when we had visitors on Saturday.

I am 1 week old today at 10:57AM

BGEA Legal Dept. Christmas Party

We hosted the Christmas party for Jason's co-workers at BGEA, although I didn't have to make a thing! The ladies came early to set up and stayed to clean up and they brought chilli, bread, salad, and dessert! Everything was so yummy. We exchanged "White Elephant" gifts (although Robert was eating at the time).

Little Robert had on his "Snow Baby" outfit from Mom and Dad and his little reindeer hat from Rebekah. Cute!

7 days old...

Thanks so much for visiting us, Mom and Dad! We are sad to see you go... thanks for all of your great help!!

Starting Day #6

Robert tried out his little Boppy swing yesterday for 3 minutes or so.... I can't let go of him longer than that right now! Mom and Dad have been such a huge help to me especially since Jason's at work yesterday and today.
