Q

Daddy nicknames all of our rugrats and this one was either going to be Squirrel, or Q. I voted for Q! The idea for Squirrel came from the nurses during delivery. One of them asked what we were naming him and wrote "Welcome Squire!" on the white board in front of my bed. I enjoyed looking at it for the hours we were there because it made it seem that much more real. That is until I realized that with the exclamation point, it ended up looking like "Welcome Squirrel" if you just glanced at it. The hubs and I got a good laugh and he said maybe we could call him that...I didn't think it was funny....so Q it is, but mostly just to Dad.

And without further ado...here are some shots of the little man over the past couple of weeks.
I have so enjoyed holding him, and smelling him and rubbing my face against his sweet baby cheeks and just watching him make funny faces and noises. Oh I love newborns...but especially my own. I love how they yawn and stretch their arms above their head and pull their knees all the way to their chests...and how after you feed them, they curl up on your chest and snooze away...there is nothing better.

These are at 1 week...love the hat

One week still...



I was having the darndest time getting a shot with his eyes open sans the binkie...oh well...he just really loves that thing I guess.


Here's some with eyes open and no binkie, but there is some serious eyebrow scrunching going on. Oh, and these are at 2 weeks.

Yup, looks like he's adding a little chub.



And still 2 weeks...asleep on a very uncomfortable chair....(took me awhile to work that magic).

And a snoozin'

But isn't this hilarious! I caught what looks like a genuine smile...too funny.

And a little vintage cuz I want to.

Me and Q

Isn't it funny how newborns can look completely different from picture to picture...sometimes he doesn't even look like the same kid.
