August is 5 weeks old!!!

Another week has already gone by and August is now 5 weeks old! Wow! I know that I probably say this a lot but...where does the time go??? I am still amazed by how many new things August does each week. His cooing and "talking" is getting more often and louder :) And smiles are getting bigger! He loves music and looking at shiny things. We are having so much fun around here, even with our lack of sleep :)

I was eating lunch and August was in his swing just talking away!

Sorry, I have no idea why this picture loaded this way. Weird.

The little monkey is fast asleep :)

August loves diaper changing time. He loves to look at the shiny metal on the wall and just talk and talk while kicking his legs a hundred miles an hour. Someone (Craig) mentioned that this was just like his daddy :)

Ok mom, lets go shopping :)

Taking a nap in my "big" bed. Last week, we put August in his crib. He loves it and the first night we had him in there he slept for 7 hours!!!

More fun diaper changing pictures!

Cripple Creek Ice Festival

This past weekend we went to Cripple Creek for the Ice Festival. Brrrr...it was a cold day. We had lots of fun with Adam, Sherry and the boys and Dan. What a beautiful drive up there and a very interesting town :) We had as much fun people watching as we did ice sculpture viewing!!!
All bundled up with Daddy! I think that August was the warmest person there!

All bundled up and ready to face that 19 degree weather! Brrrr!

The ice sculputre slide. Brandon and Jordan had a fun time on this!

4 weeks old!!!

WOW! Where has the time gone? We can't believe that August is four weeks old already. It seems like yesterday that we brought him home from the hospital. Everyday is a new adventure around here. August is giving us his first real smiles (not gas smiles) :) Yesterday I was able to finally catch them on camera. In fact, he was smiling so much I just kept snapping pictures and I think that I have about 20 pictures of him smiling. He is starting to coo a little also. It's funny because he will coo and then give a look like, "where did that come from, who was that???" It is so neat to see what new thing he will do each day.

Trip to Texas!

This past weekend, we took August to Texas for his first trip. He did amazing! We only had to stop twice to feed him. He slept the rest of the trip! Couldn't have asked for anything better. We had a great time and August got to meet lots of cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends. He already can't wait for his next trip to Texas :) Double trouble!!

And this isn't everyone yet

Can anyone say chaos???? Or were we just dreaming that we could get a picture of all the kids? This lasted all of about 1/2 a second.....or probably less.

Me and mommy!

All tuckered out after our drive to Texas

I LOVE MOMMY!

This is a really interesting photo. We have recently discovered that August has something very unique about him. If you look closely at his left eye (you may have to increase the picture size) you can see that the top half of his eye is brown. We wonder if it will stay this way?!?!

2 weeks old

Well, once again I am a week behind in getting pictures posted. August is really 3 weeks old today...but here is a 2 week old picture. Maybe next week I will have his 3 week old picture up :0) At his two week old appointment, he was 22 in. long (this is the 91%tile) and weighed
9l bs. 1 oz. (63%tile). He is almost to his birth weight.

YIKES!!!! I am 2 weeks old already???
