Five Weeks Old Already

Snuggled up in Daddy's t-shirt

On my one month birthday

Making funny faces...messy hair and crossed eyes is a great look

A Weekend of Firsts

My eyes are starting to get wider, and I look more like my Dad every day

Hailey only comes to check me out when I'm sleeping

Tired out from my first trip to the beach. Look how long I'm getting...almost time to sleep the right way in the crib!

This weekend I met my Grandma and Grandpa Franklin and Auntie Gillian. I went out to lunch twice and visited the beach. It was a good warmup for next week when I get to meet my cousins Maggie and Zoe and Aunties Sarah and Becky and Uncle Hill. I love having visitors, just don't ask me not to cry after 6pm.

Getting big!

At my two week checkup, I weighed 9 pounds 3 ounces and measured in at 22 inches long. That makes me above the 95% in height and about the 80% for weight. Pretty much as expected. My eyes are focusing on objects now and I can even make eye contact with Mom and Dad. My umbilical stump finally fell off on Friday and now I'm sporting a cute little bellybutton. I can hold my head up pretty well for about 10 seconds at a time and look around before my head takes a nose dive back onto the shoulder of whoever is holding me. Sleeping at night in my crib is going pretty well, but I've started to not like to nap during the day. But, my Mom and Dad are still loving every second of taking care of me.

I can open my eyes
