2 weeks and photo shoot

We've made it to 2 and a half weeks already. I can't believe how fast the time goes. Beau already weighed 7 pounds 7 ounces at his doctor's visit on Tuesday and I'm sure he weighs even more now since he is such a good eater.

Tita ( my mom Michelle- Tita is the Spanish nickname for grandmother) left us on Tuesday so we've been on our own for awhile. We haven't done anything too exciting since then though. We went to church and lunch today again and he did great. Most exciting part of the weekend was Beau's professional photo shoot yesterday. It took him awhile to fall asleep at the studio but once he did the photographer was moving him into all kinds of positions and dressing him in different props. I can't wait to share the photos, they are going to be amazing. I took a pic of him being photographed and we have a close-up of his final shot. He is already a supermodel :-)

1 Week Old

He is technically 12 days old today. We have had some exciting firsts this weekend. Beau went to his first restaurant on Saturday and did so well. Then we took him to church and lunch at the King and Prince and he slept the whole time. We have been so blessed with such an amazing baby who has been so easy. He only cries when he gets his diaper changed or he makes little grunting noises when he has gas or needs to be fed. He already is on a pretty regular feeding schedule where he eats every 2.5 to 3 hours. We started to try to get him to know the difference between night and day so at night around 7:30 or 8 we turn off the lights, put on the white noise maker, wrap him in his night time sleep sack and put him down in his bassinet. During the day we feed him out in the living room with TV on, people talking, and lay him in his swing. He has done so incredibly well, I obviously think he must be the world's most perfect baby :-)

He had his first doctor's appointment last Tuesday and he already had gained back the 3 ounces he lost after birth. He was back at his birth weight of 6 pounds 10 ounces and was 20 and 3/4 inches long. He is in 75% for height and 25% for weight- long and lean. Hopefully he won't be as vertically challenged as me. We have our 2 week check up this Wednesday and I am really interested to see if he has gained more weight.

Saturday we went to the new house after lunch and had a photo shoot by the marsh. Thank you Aunt Laura for the cute lobster outfit he is wearing.

Aunt Casey and Uncle Eric came by to introduce Cousin Otto to Beau. Otto wasn't too interested in him but we managed to get a few seconds where he looked at him.

Looking so sweet in his swing.

Little Beau wants to say congratulations to Laura and Andrew on their engagement last weekend!!! My maid of honor /best friend and her boyfriend of 4 years finally got engaged Memorial Day weekend at Andrew's lake house on Lake Hartwell. Both of their families were there to celebrate. We are so happy for them!!

We also want to say good luck to Aunt Ginny who just went to the Maldives for 2 months to become a surf school instructor for the Four Seasons resort. This is a dream opportunity for her and we cannot wait to see pictures and hear all about it. We love you and wish you an amazing time.
