Huck at 5 weeks

Tuesday Finley and I took Huck to the doctor for a check up. He weighed 10 lbs and 2.5 ozs and was 23 inches long. I knew he looked bigger, but I had no idea he had grown that much!

He turned 6 weeks old yesterday and time is already going by too fast. He smiles all the time now and it just melts my heart! He is also cooing and he really wants to talk, but he just can't figure it out. He is also much calmer than he was 2 weeks ago. He doesn't cry near as much and is content laying there looking around or talking to us. He is almost like a different baby. He is a little snuggler and pretty much sleeps with us all night. He will start out in his bassinet, but when he wakes up to nurse I usually fall right back to sleep and don't wake up until he is ready to eat again. He is staying up more during the day and the past few nights he has slept between 3 and 4 hours when he first goes down to sleep. He gets up about every 1 1/2 or 2 hours after that, but the few hours of sleep is awesome.

I got his newborn pictures made when he was 6 days old. The reason they like to do them when they are so young is because they will sleep the whole time and they can be posed and reposed without waking up. So naturally Huck was awake the entire time and refused to go to sleep until we left. He would nod of here and there for like 2 minutes and then wake right back up. I even woke him up before his pictures and kept him awake thinking he would fall asleep on the way over there and be out for a couple of hours, but it didn't work. I honestly didn't know if she got one good picture, but she did! Here are some of my favorites.
