We went to our neice Halle's birthday party at the Guin Waterslide today. So we made a roundtrip to Brilliant and I am exhausted!! It was fun to see Blane get a dip in the water for the first time. He didn't mind his feet being in the water but any further than that he didn't care for. Some of his faces were so cute! Halle had a great time going down the big slide and she had a fun party. Bo took off work for the day so he is even more tired than I am after getting only a few hours sleep today.
I was so happy that Blane's swim outfit fit him. We bought it for him about a month ago and were hoping he would grow into it before the party and he did! As a matter of fact he is growing into a lot of his clothes! He's getting to be a big boy. He spit up a lot today. Not sure if he is getting over full (he is taking 5 oz. now) or if he was just gassy. Going to ask Dr. Cunningham about it Wednesday at his 2 month appointment. I can't wait to see how much he has grown in a little under 2 months. I know it is a lot!

I love my little boy!!!!

Blane is liking his swing much better now. He actually fell asleep in it the other day! It usually keeps him wide awake. If he is not sleepy he will tolerate it for about 10-15 minutes, just long enough for me to do a few things around the house.
I thought the picture of Bo and Blane sleeping on the couch was really cute because they look so much alike. My two boys....they are actually asleep on the couch together right now. So sweet.
We went to Brilliant for the day Sunday and I got to show Blane off at Paige's bridal shower. Everyone thought he was very cute, and I agree. Lindsay was there with Lola and I got to hold her. Such a sweet little girl. They got to bring Lily home from the hospital today (they are twins born June 27) and we are going to see them tomorrow. Can't wait to meet Lily!
Going to Brilliant again on Friday for Halle's (our neice) 6th birthday party. We went out today to buy her a present and eat lunch. I enjoy the time that Bo, Blane, and I have when he is off. There just isn't enough of it!

Whew! It's been a busy couple of days. We went to Brilliant to visit our family on Monday and Tuesday. It is always good to see them and have babysitters for Blane to give Bo and I a break! Our neice Halle is very good with him. That is a picture of her with Blane above. She is very attentive and thinks it is hilarious when he spits his pacifier out of his mouth. We got back home late yesterday evening and Bo went back to work today so Blane and I had the day to ourselves. I meant to get to the grocery store but didn't make it. Guess that will be on the to do list for tomorrow after I have lunch with a friend.
Blane has had so many visitors since he has been born! He is really loved. Bo's Uncle James and Aunt Teresa visited this evening. It was good to see them.
Blane is really starting to focus on faces and objects now. He absolutely loves the ceiling fan and sits in his bouncy seat for good amounts of time so that I can do a few things around the house. I thank God everyday for blessing me with him.

Blane and I had a little outing today to Art at the Square in Northport to see my friend Irasema who was selling her cute cards and hats. I bought Blane a really cute knitted hat in camo colors that has brown ears on it. So cute!! My friend Kim and her husband Alan were also there and it was good to see them. Kim held Blane while I looked around which I appreciated. Next up was the tent sale at Lollipops and Fairytales where he scored a cute sports bag and t-shirt.
Blane has slept most of the day today. He had a great night last night. He slept from 11:00 pm to 5:30 am! Wow!!! I hope this means he is getting close to sleeping through the night. My mom is here spending the night with me which is a big help.
Proud parent pictures today. Enjoy!

Blane's Austin Powers impersonation ---One MIIIIIILION dollars....



Today's highlights were.....

I went to the grocery store! First time I've been out of the house since Sunday. Woohooo...major accomplishment. I also took Blane who took in the sights and sounds of our local Winn Dixie without a whimper. He's a trooper. :)

Blane has a little trick during the day where he falls asleep easily when someone is holding him but seems to wake up the second we try to lay him down. I think this is the definition of spoiled. But he doesn't do it at night thank goodness. He usually eats and goes right back to sleep. I thank my lucky stars for that.
We are looking forward to Monday when we will be visiting family in Brilliant. Bo is in the middle of working 6 straight nights and I am ready for him to be back on days.
Enjoy your Friday Blane pictures!

Hi Everyone! I ran out of space on my babysite and couldn't post anymore pictures so I decided to start a blog instead. For the most part I will be just updating this blog with pictures of Blane and little anecdotes and updates on how he is doing.



We are great by the way! Blane is 5 weeks old now. He is growing like a weed getting longer and heavier. I think he weighs close to 9 lbs. now. He goes back to his doctor (Dr. Cunningham at Tuscaloosa Peds) on August 5 so we will find out then.

I love being a mom! Every day is something new with him although I do get a little stir crazy being at home so much. I am used to being on the go 24/7 I don't know what to do with all this free time! That said....I can't read a book more than a paragraph at a time or watch a movie all the way through. Ahhh parenthood....

Well, here are a few pictures to get the blog started. I will try to update often. I hope you enjoy!
