Reece at 4 & 5 weeks!

Wow, time has truly flown by! Reece is now 5 weeks old and it's hard to believe how quickly it's gone--- not to mention how fast he's grown! I assume he's probably weighing in at at least 11 pounds. He's grown soooo much, and here are pictures to prove it ;)

These bathtime pictures are from THIS morning. He absolutely loves his baths. There have been nights when he is cranky and nothing can calm him down... but oh, his bath will! He just lounges in his tub and loves the warm water... not to mention how great he smells with his Johnson & Johnson bath wash! It is a great time.
There he's giving the camera a THUMB'S UP! See, he loves his bath!
He's fully dressed... just without a smile ;) He looks like Dapper Dan here in his Tommy polo. And it's kinda funny because we put him in this a few weeks ago and he did not fill it out like he does now! Yes, he quickly outgrew the "newborn" clothes and he's now in 0-3 months.


Here he is with me at my first week back at work. We were visiting Aunt Erin in her office!
And there he is putting on a smile for the family photo! Let's hope he smiles that good when we get his professional pics done!
This was during his 4th week... I was just about to pull him out of his car seat... and it's obvious he enjoyed the car ride!

And this was back when he was 3 weeks and 5 days... here he is with Daddy at Bar-B-Q Barn eating lunch... well, munching on the pacifier!


And the week before I headed back to work, I had to lay with him late one morning and simply enjoy napping together... oh the joys of being a mom!


Well, I know it's been short and sweet... too sweet for words (if you're as biased about the little boy as I am)! But, yes- he is wonderful! He is a very content baby and has made it easier and easier on Garrett and me. I will say that after the first 2 weeks, being a Mom got much better and then when we hit the 1 month mark (June 6th), it just seemed even easier! We are continually adjusting to each other and Reece has been adjusting well to the new work schedule. Everyone at the office loves him and he is a joy to have around. It's a blessing the way my boss allows him to be up here... it's just like one big family!
Well, we will continue to update this blog. But enjoy these pictures. They are very recent!
We love you all and can't wait to see you again in person!
