Izzy and Remy

Last week, my sister-in-law Sarah came for a visit from North Carolina for her sister's baby blessings. They made time to come and see us, which is nice since we don't get to see them too often. Ben's mom came down as well so that she could see her grandchildren. We all went out to dinner at Red Robin and had good time catching up.

Shower Time with Dad

Although Remy has enjoyed his baths, we decided to try taking him in the shower. We figured it's more convenient for us anyway.


At first, he wasn't quite sure he liked the shower, with the water dripping over his head. He seemed a little bit confused. But he calmed right down, and even posed for a picture with Dad.


Aw, I love my little boy!

Five Weeks

Our little guy is growing so fast. Everyone tells you that, but it doesn't really mean anything until you see your baby growing right in front of you. At five weeks, he is so much bigger! I can hardly believe this is the same outfit we took him home from the hospital in.


Here are the other pictures, just for comparison:





I had to add this picture too. Lately, Ben has been trying to help Remy sit up on the couch. He's a little young, but Ben got him just right with the help of the pillow. I love the expression on Remy's face.

Like Father, Like Son

If my baby has been looking balder, it's because he is. They tell you in the hospital to brush the baby's hair and scalp to prevent cradle cap, and I have been doing that religiously. However, the past few times I have been brushing his hair it's come out making my little man look...well like an little man. The best part? He's only bald on top!

The funny part is when Ben is sitting there holding Remy and saying, "Did Mom make you lose your hair? I know just how you feel buddy."

Kiki and Remy

Our friends Jon and Maeva came to visit us with their family. It was the first time we had seen them since Remy was born. And although he has definitely gotten bigger, he was no match for Kiora.
She was born 7 weeks before him, and she has the lead in size and weight. She is so cute though with her big cheeks. I loved holding her and she just looks so cute. However, I did want my baby back at the end.

My placid baby

So I'm getting ready for bed when Ben calls to me from the other room, "Lenzy, you have to come check this out." So I come running out of the bathroom to find Ben giggling, yes giggling, and he makes me record this scene:



I like it better when Remy is like this instead of crying.
