Six Weeks Old


Mitchell is SIX weeks old today! I can't believe how fast it goes! I finally got a video of him showing off his newest and most endearing (oh, and only!) trick - his smile. It melts my heart :) He seems to be the happiest in the morning, unlike his daddy!
He is also LOVING bath time. Everytime I splash the water up on him, he opens his mouth to try to catch some! Before anyone reports me to social services for allowing my child to drink dirty bath water, I should tell you that I don't splash it up quite high enough for him to actually catch it....that doesn't keep him from trying though. I'll try to get a video of that this weekend when Jacob's here. I have to keep my hands on him at all times in his little tub - squirmy and slippery are a dangerous combination.
It was 70 degrees out on Monday, so we took advantage of the weather and Tex and I took Mitchell on his first walk outdoors. He seemed to really like it and was fast asleep by the time we reached Pflumm. Tex was in doggy heaven too - it's been too long since the poor guy was taken on a walk. I, on the other hand, was probably the worse off of the three of us...it was quite a struggle to man the stroller and the dog at the same time. We might have to talk Jacob into joining us next time. From the looks of things outside (we have 3 inches of snow on the ground right now), it'll be a while until our next outdoor walking adventure. :(

His smile melts my heart, too! There is nothing like the little people FINALLY smiling back at you!

And, if it makes you feel any better, Madison drinks about a cup of bath dirty bath water every night. We just gave up trying to stop her. I guess it's better than toilet water!
