Getting so big!

 Hey guys!  My Layton is getting so big and changing so much!  I think he was around 3 weeks old the at the time of the last post and tomorrow he will be 6 weeks old!  We had our 1 month check up where he weighed 11 lbs 14 oz!  Here he is on his 1 month birthday.

He loves the ladies!! :)  We've been out and about visiting.  Here are some pictures of Layton with all his girl friends and "auntie's".  I LOVE the center picture with miss Isla and the one on the right with Mr. Brayden.  He was SO interested in the "baby".

We even ventured out to the Rangers ballpark!  It was little league day so Caleb and family got to walk to warning track on the field.  Gotta admit it was pretty cool :)

Layton did exceptionally well considering we got there 2 hrs early for the little league walk then we stayed the entire game!  The worst part was the beating sun and trying to keep him covered and cool at the same time.... next time will have to be an evening game or seats in the shade!  But, the Rangers won and we had a lot of fun :)

We've started playing a lot more with so many facial expressions.  I'm having a blast just watching him everyday :) These last photos are my favorite to date.  I love to see his big smile!  

On the move

It's been a couple weeks since I've posted anything!  Sorry, we have been going non stop!  We spent last week all over DFW trying to get ready for my little brother's wedding.  We needed outfits for everyone!  Then, very unexpectedly, my step father was hospitalized and had two unplanned surgeries for significant carotid blockage!  He is home now and doing well, but the timing could not have been worse!  So, my picture taking has kind of been slacking not to mention I didn't take ANY pictures on Austin's wedding day and Layton had the cutest little outfit!  We did survive our first real road trip with all three kiddos which went much more smoothly than I expected :)  In the meantime Layton thinks he is such a big boy!  We had our 2 week check up where we found out he's definitely growing and gaining weight.  He is all the time trying to sit up and he's always holding his head up.  He's crazy.  

I wish you could see the dancing he was doing in this shot. :) Also, he's almost 3 wks old and can only wear 3 month clothing!!  He's not missing any meals :)  

I did remember my camera for the rehearsal dinner so here are a few pictures from that evening.

 Layton with his new Aunt Sarah!

 My niece Nyla Nicole.  I always end up with several pictures of her on my camera :)

 My family with the happy couple Sarah and Austin and Pops (my dad)

Our family of 5 :)

 These two make me smile!  My step-son Caleb and nephew Nash.  They play constantly and are alway trying to find more time to see each other!  Getting this picture was NOT easy... it meant they had to stop running wild for at least 5 seconds :)

 My sister Shannon and brother Austin.

Hopefully I'll be able to steal some photos from the wedding eventually but for now I have none!  

As a side note, while we were gone Layton's belly button stump FINALLY fell off!  So, we got to have our first real bath and he was a much bigger fan of being all the way in the water :)

Layton got to experience his activity mat for the the first time yesterday and it was so much fun watching him!  At first he was crying and then he started to realize all the colors and toys and really enjoyed it.  Here are a few pictures that make my heart smile :)  

Yes, I believe that's a smile!  

LOVE LOVE LOVE my Layton Samuel!!
