Well, you are 7 weeks old today! 7 weeks!! I am still in awe of how quickly time is flying by. You are continuing to get so big! Your personality is developing more every day! Today & yesterday you have been so smiley. You especially love when I say, "I la-la-la-la-loveee you!" It makes me so happy to see you smile like that. You're such a happy boy (most of the time). You got weighed yesterday and you are a whopping 12 lbs. 5 oz. That's just short of 5 lbs you have gained in your 7 weeks of life! You are such a little chub and I love it! You most definitely love your milk. You're just perfect & I love you so so so much!!

love love love,
Mama ♥

Just hangin out with daddy

7 weeks old!!

6 weeks old

You are 6 weeks old!! You're getting so big and sleeping like a champ. You sleep 5-6 hours per night & mama loves it! You are definitely going through your 6 week growth spurt and you are cranky for most of the day. If you're not eating or sleeping, you're fussing. You love being held and rocked & you LOVE your mama. Of course that doesn't bother me one bit! I love you bubz!

love love love,
Mama.♥

All ready for a shopping day with mom! :)

My Baby Valentine

Valentines day 2013 is your first official holiday & the first day you officially smiled at me!! It wasn't a sleepy, random smile; it was a happy, "good to see ya mom" smile! You were in your bouncer and I was sitting on the couch and leaned over to look at you and you smiled!! It melted my heart and even brought tears to my eyes! You're such an amazing lil guy! Happy Valentines day my little love! ♥

love love love,

Growing Too Fast

My goodness baby boy, you are growing like a weed! I can't believe you are already 5 weeks old. It absolutely blows my mind. It feels like just yesterday, daddy and I were on our way to the hospital. You are changing everyday! You lift and keep your head up for a few seconds now. You are also starting to notice and focus on things, like the mobile on your swing. You also like to look up at anyone who is holding you. We visited both of your grandma's yesterday and they both just adore you. Raider took quite the liking to you as well. He was a little skeptical about you at first but as soon as he sniffed you out, he would not leave your side. He just kept sniffing and licking you. He would sit outside of Grandma's room while I fed you and just cry and scratch at the door. As soon as we left, your Grandma called us and told us that Raider just sat by the window and cried for you to come back. I have never seen Raider so clingy to someone except for your Grandma. I think you guys are gonna be best friends! It just goes to show that no matter who you come into contact with, they automatically love you & we all know animals have a great judge of character. Anyway, your personality is coming out more everyday. You are such a sweet boy & you definitely love your mama. You love to be held, but you are also content just sitting in your bouncer looking around at things. You are growing out of clothes faster than you can wear them! You are already outgrowing size 1 diapers and 0-3 month clothes! You're our little chunky monkey! You love your bath time now. Mama started putting the space heater in the bathroom to warm it up before your bath, so I think that made a big difference. You just lay there and kick your feet and look around while I wash you. You are also sleeping so good! You sleep from about 12 a.m. to 4 or 5 a.m., then you go back to sleep around 6 and sleep til 8, then back to sleep after you eat til about 10 or 11. It's great! You also let mama have a really good nap today. I slept on the couch while you slept beside me in your bouncer for a good three hours! You must've known mama was so exhausted. Well, I think that's all for now! Mama loves you so very much!!

Love, love, love,
Mommy.♥

To: My Little Love

Alex Francisco Jr., My Precious Little Love,

As I type this letter you are lying in your bouncer beside me and you are already 1 month and 1 day old! I can’t even believe how fast the time is flying. It seems like just yesterday I was calling your daddy to tell him that I was pregnant. From the very moment that I found out you were in my tummy, I was in love with you. When I first laid eyes on you, that love increased more than I could ever imagine. I never knew my heart could contain so much love. You were so tiny and perfect and you looked exactly like your daddy (you still do). You filled a place in my heart that I never even knew was empty. I oftentimes find myself holding you while you sleep and looking down on you in awe. I feel like the luckiest mama in the world. Although this past month has flown by, it has been the best month of my life. You bring so much light and joy into my life and everyone else’s. Now that you are here, I can’t even begin to imagine my life without you! I wake up every morning looking forward to spending my day with you. You amaze me more and more every single day. You have grown, changed, and developed so much in such a short amount of time and you have already made me so very proud of you. You are so smart, loving, and of course cuter than ever! I swear you get cuter with each passing hour. I am so obsessed with taking photos of you. Every move you make turns into a photo op. The way you smile and giggle in your sleep makes all the sleepless nights and poopy diapers so totally worth it. You are growing so fast and it’s a very bittersweet feeling. I am looking forward to see you grow and learn new things but on the other hand I want you to stay my little baby forever. I not so secretly hope you turn out to be a mama’s boy. I don’t know if it’s because I have the food, but you already seem to be heading in that direction. I love being your mommy so very much and I will support you and stay by your side no matter what forever and always!

           

                                     Love, love, love,
                                              Your Mommy ♥

1 Month Old!

 Baby boy! I cannot believe you are already 1 month old!!! Time is flying! You are getting so big! You are officially grown out of newborn clothes and into 0-3 month clothes! You are changing right before our eyes. You are starting to hold your head up really well, especially when you're on daddy's chest (I think you like to look up at him). You make us so proud already! I have also noticed that you yawn exactly like your daddy! It is so cute! You've even been giving mama 4 straight hours of sleep for the last 3 nights! I can't thank you enough for that one! You are just simply amazing & I am so looking forward to many more months with you!! Mama loves you so so much!!

Love, love, love,
Mommy.♥
