Four Weeks (01/22/14)

Thursday January 16, 2014 is the four week mark, from when Spencer entered this world. Where has the time gone, and how he grows so quickly.  He is holding his head fairly well these days.  We really need to get more proper tummy time.  He mostly gets it on our chests while cuddling so far, with occasion on the change table or bed, but I think he is developing well none the less.  Just yesterday, I think I heard the first Agoo from him.  He has been working on his vocal skills which is cute to here the sighs and such. 

We are gathering clothes he is growing out of into a box.  It is filling rapidly.  He has grown so much.  At his four week appointment he weighed in at 8 pounds 10 ounces and 21.4” long.  So he has needed to go up on sleeper sizes just to get the length, as otherwise his legs don’t have the room to stretch properly. 

Here is a photo from our latest home photo shoot

Not quite a pinterest recreation, but not quite a fail either.  I give it a pinterest B+

Here is a picture showing Deb’s creativity, and handy work.  We needed a clock for the nursery and night feedings so you can see the time Spencer has been feeding and how long you’ve been in there etc.  We had a look at various clocks to purchase, but didn’t see anything close to what we liked.  So Deb made this clock with things from around the house, an old clock mechanism, and hands from a broken clock, then a picture frame and creativity.  It is perfect. 

This is a good time to mention (as I didn’t post about it before), this is what she made me for Christmas, with the help from Michael’s crafts, but I love it.  The down side it, the boxes that hold the chocolates are smallish, and it is hard to find chocolates that fit.  So she put in Hershey kisses and for every kiss I could have a chocolate from the quality street box she bought for me.
