6 Weeks Old - Firsts!

6 Weeks Old today!

Mr. Man has really taken off this week. We had a pediatrician's appointment on Friday for his 1 month checkup (was postponed from last Friday) and he is now 8lb 10oz and 20.5" long. He is officially on the curve of all growth charts for height (2.5 percentile), weight (6 percentile), and head size (12th percentile)! He's about to outgrow his newborn size clothes and diapers, so we are getting our final wears on a lot of things. Can't believe how quickly that happened!

I'm not sure I enjoy Tummy Time

Turtle tummy time!

"Hey, Ladies..."

He's been decent schedule-wise this week... have had a few rough nights but in general he's been doing really well. Still eating about every 3 hours, sometimes closer to 2 and occasionally he'll give us 4 hour stretches. Those are really nice when they come at night!

"But I'm so cute, you don't really care if I sleep... right??"

We went on walks every day this week around the neighborhood ranging from 1.5 to 3.5 miles. It was warm outside, but we have a little battery operated fan for D on the stroller to keep him cool. Mom wishes she had one, too!

Love our morning walks!

Snuggle time with Leo.

We had several firsts this week, which were exciting...

First Family Trip to Barley's

We finally had our first family outing to Barley's on Friday night!

Babywearing in the bar!

It was fun to get to introduce him to our friends there! We even dressed him up (i.e. put pants on him for the first time) but he stayed in the wrap the whole time (slept like a champ!) so I had to take photos to document the cute outfit.

I have a car on my shirt...

...and a car on my butt!

First Race

Then on Saturday evening we headed up to Spartanburg for our first race! It was the R.J. Rockers Beer BBQ 5k - the first of a series of 3 races each sponsored/hosted by a local brewery. We walked  most of the race, though I couldn't help myself and jogged slowly a couple of times - finished just under 45 minutes and then enjoyed barbecue, beer, and live music afterwards! It was a great event. More about the race in my fitness blog which I'm very excited to start making entries in again. :)
