Too cute

Weekend fun

We had a lot of fun this weekend! On Saturday "Auntie" Nicki and Brandon came from Chicago to meet Orion for the first time. "Auntie" Sarah also came down from Appleton to visit and she brought us Grandma Becker's mac and cheese for lunch, it was fantastic. After they left Grandma Barb came to babysit Orion over night so Kevin and I could go to my work holiday party. It was hard to say goodbye to Orion but we knew he was in good hands with Grandma. We came home this morning and found out that Orion slept great last night and was a good boy while we were gone. After Barb left Orion was crying, we think it's because he missed Grandma already.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Today was Kevin's birthday and we spent the entire day together. Tonight we went out to dinner to celebrate and we dropped Orion off by Mike and Jill. Since Orion was going to be seeing Hadley tonight he wore his cute Pooh outfit to try to impress her. It was nice to have some quality time alone with Kevin and we didn't even talk about Orion the entire time.

One month old

We can hardly believe that today Orion is one month old. He does so many things now that he didn't do when we brought him home. He is starting to hold his head up and often head butts Daddy. He also has figured out how to get his little hands into his mouth and sometimes prefers that to his pacifier. Just today he has developed a little bit of a high pitched squeal to get our attention. He is just amazing and we are so in love with him.

Weekend fun

Due to snow and illness we didn't have all the visitors we were supposed to this weekend, hopefully everyone can make it here soon though. Janae and Peter came to visit today and we wanted Peter to stay forever because he actually calmed Orion down and put him to sleep. Since Friday night Orion has been a little fussy and was up every 1 to 2 hours last night to eat, we think he is going through a growth spurt. He also was holding his own bottle last night when Kevin feed him! The picture of Orion and me is funny because I was singing a New Kids on the Block song and showing him a video (thanks Nicki) and he just looked at me like I was crazy. He gave the same look to Kevin later in the day. Then he fell asleep on Kevin's shoulder and punched him in the face and just kept his little hand there while he slept. We are about to give Orion a bath and he absolutely hates the bath, then hopefully he will eat and go to sleep for a while but who knows for sure because it's Orion's world and we just live in it!

More friends

My friend Sherry came over tonight after work to visit with Orion. He was pretty good until he decided he needed to eat dinner! Then we had a little play time with his new friend Winnie the Pooh.

Wednesday fun

Today Orion had his first lunch date with my friend Cherie and she gave him his very first Pooh Bear. I was a little nervous because I didn't know if he would stay sleeping at the restaurant but he did a great job and didn't make a peep. Of course right as we were going to leave the house he spit up all over his outfit so I had to change him and was about 5 minutes late for lunch. Before we left I took a bunch of pictures of him making his cute little faces. I couldn't get one of him doing his half smile though because he is way too fast for me, hopefully soon.
