Happiest Baby On The Block



Video: 6 weeks today & full of smiles

Dane is 6 weeks today, and he is the happiest baby on the block! I have him on a new schedule of Sleep, Eat, Play. He rarely fusses now because I know what he wants at each stage of the routine. Yay!

Video: Relaxin with Mommy - 3 weeks old

Dane is 3.5 weeks old here. I weighed him on my bathroom scale, and he is at least 10 pounds now. Wow! He likes to sit next to me and stare at me or the big colorful picture hanging above the couch :)

Labor Day Weekend

Matt (Alek's brother), Angie, Luke, Lex, and Liam came up to the Sault to visit us this weekend. On Saturday, we had tons of fun at the Chippewa County Fair. We saw lots of barn animals and the boys enjoyed a few of the carnival rides. Luke said he liked the motorcycle ride best, and he even popped a few wheelies on it. Dane came along too for his first real outing, and he was very good for us! Later that night, we went back to the fair to watch the big trucks go through the mud runs. It was very exciting to hear their loud engines push them through the mud as it splattered everywhere! On Sunday, we went out to my parent's cabin. The boys did a little fishing off the dock and then we sat around the campfire and made smores. Yum!

Video: Bath Time

Amy, I had mom tape this for you so you can see what he is like at two weeks old:

I really dread bath time because Dane fusses and cries through it. I am trying different ways of doing it (trial and error is my motto for everything with Dane). Here is a video of me using a baby bath tub. The tub is a bit awkward to use right now, because he is still so small and slides down. So until he gets a bit bigger, I think I prefer just setting a towel in the sink and putting a little water in it and then laying him on the towel. I have also taken a bath with him, and he seemed to love that, but I can't do that every time :-)




Here is another video of mom rocking Dane.
