Our baby boy is 4 weeks old!

We had a 4 week check up this afternoon and Brandon is now 10 pounds 12 ounces. That equals to about a pound a week! He has just started breaking out with baby acne, some days are worse than others... here are some week 4 photos.

Brandon takes the bottle!

At our last doctors appointment, the Doctor had suggested we not wait too long to introduce the bottle to Brandon. He said that if we wait too long he might not adjust well. Which would be a problem when I return to work. So last night I pumped and Doug fed him. He had no problem taking the bottle, and was still hungry after!

Pumpkin Patch!!!

We went to the local pumpkin patch today with Aunt Amy, Uncle Aaron and big cousins Eli and Zoe. Grandma bought Brandon's coustume and he was a hit at the patch!

Brandon is 3 weeks old!

Today was a big day for Brandon and Mommy. We went to the mall together, Brandon is growing so fast he needed a few more outfits. Then this evening we went out to dinner for the first time. We went to the Alculpoco, which was Doug's first restaurant he went to as a baby too! Then tonight Brandon didn't want to sleep, he was having too much fun looking at daddy!

Two Week Old Check Up

Wednesday October 7th was Brandon's 2 week old appointment. We Found out Brandon gained 1 pound 3 oz in one week! He is now 8 pounds 8oz! And 21.5 inches long! He is really growing fast! He has made the transition from newborn clothes to 0-3 month clothes now. Last night we bumped him up to size one diapers since the newborn size didn't seem to catch everything anymore. He's a happy baby, has been waking up between one and two times at night..we can't really complain!
