The Hankster!

Because I just can't get enough of him and because I got a new camera that I've been playing around with, I decided to share some more pictures of our little guy.

Hank T!

On Saturday, we hit the 6-week mark. Yes, technically I could be back at work by now but I couldn't get back into the see the doctor until July 5th so for now I'll enjoy my time home with the Hankster. I'm also still feeling incredibly out of shape so that gives me some extra time to get my butt in gear. Hank is growing by the second. We don't have an exact weight from last week, but he weighed 10 lb 13 oz at our last breast feeding meeting - meaning that he gained 15 oz in 1 week! 


Streeeetch!



Hank and Daddy in the work truck. No, he did not take the vehicle out of park or even turn it on.



Tummy time!





Colossus also likes the Boppy.

Oh baby...

After having my mom in town to help out for 2 weeks and then Bill being on paternity leave for 10 days after that, Hank and I made it through our first week alone. On Friday night and last night, we survived our first overnights since Bill had to spend these nights out in the field, a.k.a "the box." I'm pretty sure that's short for sandbox. Our days have been dictated by Hank's eating and sleeping schedule which changes every day. We do venture out of the house to pick up groceries and such, but there really isn't much on post so we spend most of our time at the house. Last week, I finally starting feeling up to taking walks around the neighborhood so we take a late afternoon walk every day now. We also attend our weekly breast feeding support group meeting. I mainly go to see how much Hank weighs to reassure myself that he is actually getting enough to eat - and by golly he sure is - he gained 11 oz. in 1 week! Last week my baby weighed 9 lbs 14 oz! I expect him to be over the 10 lb mark at tomorrow's meeting. Enjoy the pictures!
"Look, Daddy. I already have the military look going on."


Smiling in his sleep :)



"Mommy! I can't believe you're putting this picture on the blog!"




He loves looking at the light coming in through the windows during the day.
