Road trip baby!

We spent much of this week doing our normal routine (feed wake sleep and repeat).  You are starting to become a very demanding little feeder.  You LOVE your food!  When we change out a bottle to burp you, you become very angry!  You want food NOW!  I simply could not keep up and so I have decided to stop breastfeeding all together.  Consequently, you have gained a TON of weight this week.  Your whole face has become rounder and you are much heavier.

You are also a very good little sleeper for the most part.  During the day, you wake up almost clock work around 2 ½ - 3 hours to eat (don’t even think about skipping meals mom!) and at night you are still sleeping 4-6 hours in between feedings. 

You are also much more awake and aware during the day.  We spend our time going on walks (we are up to 3-5 miles a day), checking out the new house (they are starting to paint and finishing up the brick & stone), changing diapers (you are a poop machine – your dad’s words, not mine), bathing and working on tummy time.  I also have been singing to you which you seem to like.  Your favorite so far is Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.  And by favorite, I mean I get the most reaction from you.  

This weekend was Memorial Day and we had Casey and Dorian’s wedding in Austin.  Lucky for us, Gigi tagged along with us so that she could watch you at the hotel while we went out.  She strolled you around the hotel and read to you!  The wedding was gorgeous!  It was in a small chapel overlooking the hill country.  The reception was at David S’s house and we went out to the Rattle Inn afterwards. On Sunday, we got up and went to Mettle for lunch with Sue.

Mom and Dad got a new camera!  So many of the shots are mom playing around with different settings.

It's not your first smile but you are starting to see you smile more and more.  We got some great pictures of your smiling this week.

You love to stroll and ride in the car (you PASS out!).  Your go bugs and longhorn are still your best buddies.  Your stretching routine hit an all time high this week!  On Wednesday, it probably lasted about 10 minutes.  Lights, fans and vents constantly keep you entertained.  You are starting to one eyebrow or the other.  We aren’t sure where this came from because your dad and I can’t do this.  You love your turtle light machine at night.  You ooh at the lights as they hit the ceiling.

If anyone dares to take away your bottle - you get ANGRY!  You really really hate hiccups.
