1 Month (Weeks 1-4)

Our first month with Alexander has flown by and its hard to believe we have been parents for over a month now. We have been blessed with such an amazing baby and we are so grateful that things have gone smoothly so far.  As soon as Abuetlita left us, Josh and I began to settle into more of a routine and really started to master our skills as new parents.

One thing we have been lucky with so far is that our sweet baby has been an incredible sleeper since the day we brought him home. We kept waiting for his post delivery coma to fade away but as of date  (knocking on wood!) he continues to sleep sooo well! The first two weeks of life I had to set my alarm to feed him every 4 hours because he usually wouldn't wake up on his own at night.  But as soon as we knew at his 2 week appointment he was in fact gaining weight, we felt more comfortable letting him sleep longer stretches. You know the saying "never wake up a sleeping baby!". So that is exactly what we did and weeks 3-4 he went anywhere from 5-6 hour stretches at night.
So far So Good!

Here are some pictures of him that I took for his 1 Month.
One thing is for sure we find ourselves falling more and more in love with our little Man each day and already can't imagine what life was without him!





Love that wrinkled forehead!

Poolside Fun & The 4th of July

The Manards got to enjoy some poolside fun over weekend at the Morelands GORGEOUS new pool! We LOVED getting to spend time with our friends and getting in some Owen and Alexander pics. =) We also got to celebrate another amazing 4th of July at Casa de Fosters! Thanks again to them for hosting another AMAZING day of fun at their pool! Our group of friends is forever growing and it was WILD to see how many additions we have added to our close knit group! We have one more sweet girl we are waiting on and we can't wait to finally meet her this August! =) 

Hopefully next year Alexander will actually get to join in the Pool fun.
Daddy and I CAN'T WAIT!
