3 weeks

3 weeks with little Judson Ray

You are turning into a little boy so quickly. 

Part of me wants you to slow down and stay a newborn for a bit longer 

the very, very tired part of me is kind of ok with you growing up quickly (only if more sleep comes with age).

it seems that you are getting longer and longer, but not much fatter

i'm pretty sure this will be your life story

In your third week of life...

you wore a cardigan and i died 

nothing cuter than a baby cardigan pocket. nothing

you were completely spoiled by your Hunny

since your dad was gone for the week, we camped out at their house and honestly...we both got a bit spoiled

You make the cutest tight little circle with your lips after eating

you went to Monroe's new Rivermarket and loved all of the vendors

or slept the entire time

You went on your first walk and LOVED it

you seriously.. i mean seriously have ridiculously defined leg muscles for a wee babe. 

scrawny as they may be, they are long an lean machines.

somehow, you turned into a little boy this week

you can already hold your head up

not always..but it's still quite impressive

You started cooing a tad and I'm sure there is not a sweeter sound in the world

You missed your dad while he was gone. We talked about him a lot

your dad was super excited to get back home to you. we were equally pumped to have him home

The weeks are going by so fast and I cherish every day with you.

Sometimes, I just stare at you because I want to remember exactly what your little baby face looks like.

I love how you just stare right back at me, as if you feel the same way about me. 

Hopefully, that will never change (i'm sure it will)
