9 weeks and 4 days

Sorry it's been a while since I've written, I've just been enjoying being a Mom!

Barrett is doing wonderful! He is 9 weeks and 10 pounds now! Yes he is a chunk! He's eating 6 oz every 3 1/2 hours. You can't even tell he was a preemie anymore. I read this book Baby Wise and it taught me how to get him on a schedule so he can start trying to sleep through the night naturally. I've been doing it for about 2 weeks now and it is starting to work!!! Usually he sleeps for about 5 hours, and last night he slept from 9pm to 5am!!! I am so excited! I will find out tonight if it was just a one time thing.

This weekend we had a family trip to the ranch. It was wonderful! The only reason we went was because it was suppose to snow there for the first time in 15 years. Barrett had a snow suit that we bought him when I was pregnant. It was too cute to pass up!! It came in handy this weekend. We took him outside for about 5 minutes so we could video tape him in his first time in the snow. When the snow would hit his mouth he would stick out his tongue and lick his lips. It was the cutest thing. It is about a 4 hour trip and he was so good the whole time! He only cried when he was hungry. The rest of the time he was just looking around outside or sleeping. He notices everything now, he is constantly looking around and watching. He smiles all the time now. He is starting to cue at me, wanting to talk to me. He is changing everyday and his personality is starting to shine through. Sigh, I am going to miss him SO much when I go back to work!

Here is some pictures of recent pictures of him.
