Time Flies

So today you are 5 weeks old!  I can’t believe that 5 weeks have gone by!  You are such a wonderful baby…and boy does that drive Munga and your Aunt Brooke CRAZY!!!!  So far you only fuss when it is necessary (i.e. diaper needs changing or you are hungry)!  You are even sleeping well…you go down around 10-1030 at night and sleep until 2:30-3:30, then you are up again around 7!  And boy am I thankful…because your mom likes her sleep as well!  In the mornings you sleep for only about an hour at a time, and awake for a couple of hours (where we tell stories, sing, work on tummy time and bother dad while he works!). You are pretty consistent during the afternoons: sleep 1-3, up to eat, sleep 3:30-5:30 (and it is during this time that we head to the ponds with the dogs and walk a few laps-thanks for sleeping!). We have done a lot since you were born. Your first outing was  Sunday, October 16th, and we went to church! On October 19th, we took a day trip up to Big Sky, where Pappa wired the hot tub. You, Munga and I hung out and of course you were a great traveler! You haven’t really slowed us down too much yet! We have gone on many adventures during your short 5 weeks of life! We have ventured on a hike up Bozeman Creek Trail, stayed up in Big Sky, and the best trip so far was when we went to Billings to surprise Munga for her 60th birthday!  At Munga’s birthday bash, you were able to meet more family and everyone thinks that you are just adorable (and I do too!). We started feeding you a bottle once a day when you turned 3 weeks old. You took to the bottle with no problems…but the problem is that you get TOO MUCH milk too quickly and so when you are done we have a MASSIVE vomit!  We are now attempting to limit how much you eat…and boy do you get made (it’s those Anderson jeans…they know how to eat!)!  Maggie and Henry have taken a liking to you! They were not to found of you the first 3 or so weeks!  But know they come and check on you and Maggie loves to lick your head and ear. Henry keeps a good eye on you when anyone other than mom and dad are holding you…its pretty cute! You smiled for the first “real” time this past weekend up in Big Sky on November 12th!  It just melted my heart…and dad was even witness to it! You have even found your thumb a couple times and its pretty cute to watch you suck on it!  Though, I am hoping that it does not become a bad habit we are going to have to break later!
