Week of Fun and Family

We had a GREAT week! Dax got to meet his cousin Colby for the first time...along with Jessica and Brent! Dax also got to spend a WHOLE week with his Nana Kim! We did a lot of hanging out! Dax started smiling around 4 1/2 weeks old! He smiles EVERYDAY now....but I am having a hard time catching it on camera! He is awake and alert and loves to look around! I swear he can almost hold his head up too! We took him into the Dr. and at 4 1/2 weeks old he weighed 7lbs 5 oz. Some of his newborn clothes are looking tight!

Notice Colby and Dax in their matching Christmas jammies...and snowman hats!


Dax always looks so tan!


Dax has lots of visitors.....





Dax looks so cute in this photo!....He is 5 weeks old exactly


Our days are mostly spent like this....


FIRST tub bath! He enjoys bath time!

The Dax Man!

Our Dax man will be ONE month old on Friday....hard for me to believe! Time sure flies! He makes more noises and is awake for a good part of the day now! He makes lots of grunting noises and at times sounds like a baby lamb. It makes us laugh! He kicks his legs more and more everyday. We can feel him getting stronger. He tries to hold his head up too! It's so cute...especially when he tires to look around while holding it up.

For the first couple of days he LOVED his biniki. Then all of the sudden he wanted NOTHING to do with it! It was making me crazy because there were times I WISHED he would take it. SO I went on the hunt and finally found that he likes the Nuk brand....sometimes! He is not totally convinced...but when he is frantic it helps!

We try to do tummy time....but he likes his tummy so much he falls asleep...so much for that!


I finally found a binki he likes!


3 weeks old!


His favorite place to sleep!


He is still a little guy....newborn clothes are still huge on him! (We were comparing his head to Jason's phone.)...also attempting tummy time!

DAX and his CRAZY hair!
Dax has wild hair most of the time. I am convinced it has a mind of its own!







SLEEP and SMILE


...I finally caught a smile!


I LOVE how he stretches....with both fists above his head!


This is how his hands are when he sleeps...most of the time!


...almost 4 weeks old!


LOVE my sleeping boy!

Thanksgiving was pretty low key this year! Dax got to meet his cousin, Lincoln, who is 11 weeks older than him! We couldn't get over how much bigger Lincoln is than Dax!

Dax's "BIRTH"day

Wow! What an AMAZING day! Jason and I even went on our last date as a couple Thursday night before we welcomed Dax to our family! We went to dinner and then to the mall to walk around since it was cold outside. We enjoyed ourselves at Barnes and Noble before driving home. We got home and a SHORT time later I told him it was time to go to the hospital. He instantly starting pacing...and keep asking "for real"? We packed a few things to make our stay more comfortable and we were off. I would have never guessed we would welcome sweet baby Dax on Friday the 13th, but what an AWESOME day it was! Enjoy a few photos from our special day!


Before Dax arrived


One last belly shot


He came out screaming!

Going home!

Welcome Baby Dax

Our little guy, Dax Jason Crowley, arrived on Friday November 13th at 1am exactly! He weighed in at 5lbs 14 oz and 18 inches! He has lots of dark blonde hair. (I was happy that I made it to 37 weeks....so he was only 3 weeks early!)Labor went really FAST, which is what my Dr. expected to happen. I was admitted at 9pm and my water was broke at 10pm....he arrived a SHORT 3 hours later at 1am! It all went very well! I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

We love our little Dax so much! Jason has been a BIG help! He does great with watching him so I can take little cat naps! He has jumped right into being a Dad!:)

...Pictures to come....

36 1/2 WEEKS!!

Here I am at 36 1/2 weeks pregnant! YEAH.... getting down to the end! Jason and I are trying to get the last few things together! I am starting my leave from work this week! I have 12 weeks off starting now....it feels great to know I don't have to work for a while! Work has been pretty miserable for the last 6+ weeks! So I figure I can take a week off to recover before our little guy arrives! :)
