6 weeks old!

Happy 6 weeks sweet Walker!
We are so smitten with you!
At 6 weeks you are:

- such an awesome little eater! During the day you go about every 1 1/2 to 3 between feedings. You are learning to take a bottle better so Daddy can help out with feeding you too. You can also be a vocal feeder too taking big gulps and "mmm"-ing throughout the feeding. So cute!

- speaking of eating you are weighing in at 10 pounds 8 ounces!! Wowzers! Your little cheeks have filled out an are SO yummy cute!!!

- starting to sleep longer stretches at night. In the past week you nurse around 10-10:30 and then again around 11, but then you sleep for about 4 1/2 to 5 hours! Yeah! After Daddy and Wyatt leave for school, we usually settle back in for a 2 hour catnap.

- not a big crier. You do cry when you are ready to eat, but calm quickly when I lay you on the changing table to get a clean diaper because you know you are getting fed next. You will fuss a bit when you get the hiccups, but who wouldn't ;-)

- starting to smile more and get immersed in staring contest with us. Your eyes are mesmerizing!

- are starting to roll over which totally shocks me. Almost every time I put you in your play gym, you get that left leg in that perfect position to leverage yourself over. Crazy!!

- continually loved on, kissed and watched out for by your big brother! It is so sweet to see Wyatt tenderly kiss your head. You are also so laid back and mellow even when the kiss and hug are a little too loving.

Like I said, we are all so smitten with you! You are a perfect addition to our family and we all feel so blessed to have you, love on you, and watch you grow!!
