6 weeks - my first cold

Unfortunately Adrian has gotten his first cold this week. He really doesn't like having a stuffy nose and who can blame him? I am hoping it will pass soon.

We had a super busy weekend and both Mommy and Adrian are recovering today. Cousin Angie and Hugh were home from Edmonton and we joined them for brunch so they could meet the little guy. Grammie and Grampie Underhill babysat Saturday night so Mom and Dad could go to a birthday party. Boy did it ever feel wierd to be out on a Saturday night, and to not be wearing a t-shirt and slippers! Sunday we had another wonderful baby shower at the Boyles house and Adrian got to meet all of his new friends. Adrian received so many great gifts, thanks guys!!!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We will be headed to Stickney on Sunday and Beaverdam on Monday.

5 weeks - bald is beautiful

Adrian is looking more like his Daddy now that he too is starting to lose his hair. His newborn hair is starting to fall out and although we will miss it we are very curious to see what his new hair will look like. Maybe we have a blondie baby after all?

Adrian loves watching the fish on his swing mobile and will stare at them for minutes! (That's a long time in baby terms) He has started to make new noises and surprises himself when he does. It's very cute.

We celebrated our first anniversary yesterday, who would have thought it would be with our son! It's been an eventful year for us! (-:

2 weeks - settling in.

Adrian is officially 2 weeks old today. Time is flying by and believe it or not he is actually changing in his looks every day. It makes Mom a little sad but it's exciting to see him grow.

Adrian was in Stanley on Saturday for the Jones family corn boil and got to meet many of his great aunts and uncles. On Sunday he went to Stickney for a special supper at Grammie and Grampie's house to meet some of his Underhill family. Stanley and Stickney in one weekend.... Adrian sure is well travelled. (-;

Today we are taking it easy and resting from our busy weekend. Adrian had his first real bath in a bathtub today and he wasn't sure if he liked it at first but settled into it in the end. Check out his bathtime pictures in his first month photo album.

4 weeks - getting chubbier

Adrian is almost a month old! The past week has really been a growing week for him. His little legs and cheeks sure are filling out making him even more adorable if that's even possible.

We spent a couple of days in Stickney visiting Grammie and Grampie and got to do all kinds of exciting things like going for lunch with Grammie, walking the dogs on the trail and meeting many of Adrian's great aunts. There was no shortage of visitors and it is safe to say the consensus is Adrian sure is a blessing.

Mommy managed to catch a smile with the camera... check it out.

3 weeks - could that be a smile?

Adrian is getting bigger every day. He is close to outgrowing his newborn sleepers which makes Mommy a bit sad, but happy at the same time because a growing baby is a healthy baby!

His latest development is being able to pull Mommy's hair (which Mommy isn't too thrilled with). And we are pretty sure he is learning how to smile. That toothless grin sure does warm the heart! He is a little more alert each day and we try to spend lots of time going for walks, reading, playing on a blanket and listening to music.
