Five, Going on Six Weeks!

I know you're not yet six weeks old, and it feels like jumping the gun here and pushing ahead faster than I'd like...but you're 5 1/2 weeks old!

I can't honestly say there's been a whole lot that has been super exciting other than you being our favorite little lunch companion when Mommy and Daddy go out on Daddy's work at home days and all of that good stuff.  You've also been a great shopping companion too...you and me, and sometimes Daniel.

So your Mommy is still doing the picture-a-day thing, and it's amazing to see how you've grown and changed in this short period of time.  I pulled out a 3-9 month range onesie the other day (just for variety...and it was clean) thinking it would be absolutely huge on you...and while it was still big, you weren't swimming in it as much as I imagined!

As for routine, it's stayed pretty much the same...still having the standard once in the middle of the night waking to eat.  Even so, you're consistently sleeping at least 3, close to 4 hours at a stretch at night.  Your nursing skills (boobies!) have gotten better too, such that you seem pretty satisfied sometimes without having any extra formula after you've eaten.

In other big news, your first airplane trip is coming soon!  We're going up to Montana to visit Grandma and Grandpa Stone at the beginning of October (just about 2 1/2 weeks from now!).  It'll be exciting to get to see them and spend some time where it's a little cooler!  After we get back, you'll start daycare!  Mommy is finishing out her job this coming week (but you'll go to work with me!) and then we can spend another couple of days at home together before the trip.

Once again, it's going by fast!
