5 weeks...already!

Last week, we had Emerson's 1 month pictures taken and he went for his 1 month checkup! I can't believe he is 5 weeks old! He is growing so quickly! He now weighs 12 lbs 6 oz and is 23 1/4 inches long! He is in the 97th percentile for his age. He is a very big boy! He has recently started smiling and cooing at us! I just love it...he is so precious! Emerson and I enjoy spending the weekdays together and we love having the weekends to spend as a family when dad is home too!

This weekend, we have a 4-day weekend as a family! Aunt Katie and Uncle Mitchell are coming into town! We are throwing a baby shower for Aunt Sarah and Baby Randall too! Exciting! We hope you enjoy your holiday weekend too! Happy 4th of July!

Growing Like a Weed...

We just can't believe how quickly our little man is growing! It's amazing. He changes so much every day! He is 17 days old today. On Monday, he lost his umbilical cord. Wednesday, after celebrating Kyle's birthday, it was bath night. Emerson got to use his big boy tub now that he lost his cord! Here he is...

He honestly did really well, but this picture is just so cute...and it's the only one we have that doesn't include his man parts! hehe
I weighed him at work this week too. I could not believe it when I saw that he weighed 10 lbs 5 oz! He has gained almost 2 pounds in 2.5 weeks! I think it goes without saying that he loves to eat! lol He decided to start sleeping 4 hours at night now too! I was so excited when I woke up and he had been asleep for 4 hours! It's amazing how the small things in life mean so much!

1 Week Old....

Emerson Blaine Hardie was born on Monday, May 24, 2010 at 8:04pm. He weighed 8 pounds 14 ounces and was 22 inches long. He is very healthy! What an awesome experience! Emerson looks just like his daddy...and is every bit as handsome! We got to bring him home on Wednesday night. He weighed 8 pounds 5 ounces at discharge. Since then, we have been adapting to parenthood...one night at a time. Everyone is doing well. :)

Here is a picture from yesterday in his baseball uniform...lol.
He changes so much every day!


Today was our 1 week follow up appointment with the pediatrician. We were surprised to find that Emerson weighed 9 pounds 3 ounces and was 22.5 inches long!!! He is quite the little piggy! :) The doctor was very pleased with his progress! :)
