6 Weeks!

Cardston is now 6 weeks going on 7! I can't believe he is almost 2 months old! He sure is getting big. We love it. As you can tell he has lost the hair on the top of his head. He still has hair on the back and sides of his head and it's getting long. Weird, I know. His hair has turned auburn. It'll be interesting to see if it turns blonde like Brampton's.

One of his favorite things to do is blow bubbles. If you look closely you can see them in the picture above. He is also pretty good at holding his head up. He's been doing that since day one. He also started smiling at us! It's so cute. He'll even giggle. I love that. His giggle is too cute. I especially love it when he is asleep and he starts laughing. What do little babies dream about anyway??? The past few days he has been cooing (is that even a word?).
Of course his all time favorite activity is sleeping! He pretty much sleeps 24/7. Last night he slept for 7 hours straight! I was in heaven (more like in my bed getting some much needed rest). When he's not sleeping...he eats and poops! sleep...eat...poop. Gotta love babies. He is still feeding about every three hours. I couldn't resist putting this picture in the post. Brampton is so cute with Cardston. He loves him so much. Whenever Cardston cries...Brampton says uh-oh and runs to the rescue. I can't wait until Cardston gets a little older and the two of them can be buddies.
And this little munchkin...he's always busy doing what a 2 year old does...getting into mischief. No...he's great. In fact, he has made great improvements in his speech. He meets with a speech therapist weekly. This past week she wanted me to work on the B sound with Brampton. She gave him a bag full of items that started with B. Each day him and I have a special time when we talk about the items and I really enforce the sound (trying to get him to do it). He's really stubborn and gets really mad at me. But...the other day I noticed him going through the bag and saying ba ba ba! Oh...it filled my heart with joy! I'm happy to report that he can now say Ba (for B) and Pa (for P). Way to go buddy!!!

Cute pictures Stephanie. I LOVE LOVE LOVE bald headed babies!! SO cute!

That last picture of Brampton is so cute too. You can tell by the joy on his face that he's loving that moment!

I like that last picture of Brampton for a different reason. It makes you take a quick climpse 12-15 years down the road and to think of how often you will be seeing that site: One of your boys standing in front of an open refrigerator. Makes you grateful your hubby will be a Dr., huh!

Your little ones are too cute! By the way, yes, cooing is a word:) As a speech therapist, I'm excited to hear that Brampton is saying his B sound...that's awesome!

I can't believe it's already been 6 weeks! Thanks for the advice about the hospital. I'm getting into freak out mode and really need to calm down and just let it all happen. You're boys are adorable :)
