so today marks 5 weeks that Serif's been around. i can't believe it. he hit a growth spurt this past week and outgrew several outfits. i went to put the star outfit (from previous post) on him on tuesday and well . . . i put his feet in . . . then went to put his arms in and it was way too small! the neck of the sleeper was atleast an inch away from his neck and it was so funny because he was looking sort of contorted as i tried to figure out what i was doing wrong. well, i wasn't doing anything wrong except trying to squeeze a growing boy in to an outfit that was way too small. it sort of made me sad but i had to laugh.today was our first day going out, just the two of us . . . mom & Serif. although i would have prefered to have had a shower, i took a morning nap instead. we did really well with the outing though. we went to the vet to get bingo (the bird) more food, then hit the target to see if we could find more pants for the growing boy. we avoided buying many clothes while i was pregnant since we didn't know if it was a boy or girl so we ended up with a lot of sleepers. since the growth spurt this week he was finally able to fit in to these really great band onesies that Justin (a friend from work) made for him. this is just one from a set of 5 that he did that have our favorite bands on them - they're just awesome! doesn't he look good in them? heeheehee. the pants we picked because they looked like dad. anyways, we made it back home just in time for his feeding so i was proud that it went so well.
another marker for today is that Jeff gave him his first bottle. he took to it like a champ with no hesitations. that part was really great. however, i don't think he got completely full and was hungry within an hour. when he came back to me i think he got confused and was having a hard time getting the rhythm back down to get much grub and we both became quite frustrated. after 2 hours of that he's finally in his crib settling in for the night. so . . . i think we may wait a few more days before trying that again.

If I could figure out how to "comment" I would.....I'm not so good on the computer...*_*
so anyway, I'll email.
I'm so proud of your mom and boy child outing.when Colby was about Serif's age I started taking him to Rivergate mall in his stroller, had 0 money but we just strolled and window shopped, he loved it.....and I did too! even when Olivia came along we tried it with her....no way. she hated it. Colby said "mama lets take owivia home"..... sweet times....
I can't believe he's 5 weeks, he looks like a "little boy" in his pics. LOVE his little shoes...
enjoy your times together.....he's precious!
I want to hold him...
