Happy Halloween!

Thatcher's first Halloween. . . what an adorable pumpkin!

Our Latest News is BIG. . . 12 pounds and 6 hours of sleeping at night!

Just when we thought we couldn't love him anymore. . . Thatcher decided to start sleeping for 6 hours through the night!  At 5 weeks old (weighing in at 12 lbs), he loves to eat and sleep.

Here are some pictures from the last week or so.

Eating and sleeping take up most of our time. . . 

Everyday it seems Thatcher is a little more awake and alert.  It is so much fun to see him constantly changing.

 

Thanks Aunt Katie!  This quilt is so great!  

I think he loves his monkey!

Bath time is a daily routine.  I love how babies are so content taking baths.

 

 

Tuffy Tooth Club

Thatcher officially made the Tuffy Tooth Club, he has no cavities. He did his best to flex his baby guns. For the record he pulled that pose on his own when I put his onesie on, I didn't position him this way for the picture. He's a natural, a pudgey little natural.

1 MONTH OLD!

Our little Thatcher is 1 month old!  I can't believe it! 
According to our best calculations,  he is now 10 lbs 6 oz (a 43% weight increase in 30 days)!
It's crazy how fast this last month has gone, but now I can't even imagine my life without him.

Michigan vs Iowa

Iowa fans are just the greatest... except for the fact they always win when we are with them! It was so fun to fill our house up with family and friends again, especially with baby experts and expert baby sitters!  Thanks for all your help!  It was great to see everyone, and we are excited to have Michigan and Iowa in the same division to keep this tradition going.

Ben looks good with Thatcher AND in that Michigan shirt!

Thatcher's First Photo Shoot

One of my friends was brave enough to come and take some pictures of our little Thatcher. As luck would have it, both times she came to take his picture Thatcher decided to be awake. I think he takes after his dad and just hates having his picture taken, but here are some of the highlights. We worked really hard to have this peaceful looking newborn.

  

 

 

No wonder he has been eating so much.

According to our calculations, Thatcher is now 22.5 inches long and weighs about 9 pounds 3 ounces.  It's hard to believe how fast he is growing.  His cheeks are filling out and he now officially has at least two chins.  This 0 month picture is actually from about a week ago, but I thought it needed to be posted.

Thatcher is Upsizing

It's official, Thatcher has outgrown the size "N" diapers that he started out in.  He is now in size "1".  His clothes that he had that were loose before, now fit well.  If you listen close I think you can hear him growing.

Two weeks

Thatcher is growing by the day. We have been to the doctors twice now and the consensus is this little baby loves to eat. In 2 weeks he has grown from 7 lbs 4 oz to over 8 lbs 8 oz. He is such a cutie!
