Growing Boy!

We took advantage of the nice day and got out of the house! I took Rogan to Milkworks to weight him. He is a whooping 10lbs 12oz!!! What a big boy!

Rogan's first exersuacer experience!

Sunday Rogan was baptized! YEAH!!! It was such a wonderful ceremony. We were so glad that our families could make it and help us celebrate. Great Grandma Kielty made Rogan the most beautiful quilt! We will cherish it forever! G-ma Buresh gave Rogan his baptism shoes with his name and birthday on them. Pretty big on his little feet, but so adorable that he wore them anyway :) It was a great day! It is always fun to get to see my sisters kids and see how fast they are growing. It makes me cherish the time with Rogan as I know it will go too fast. I can't believe he is already almost a month old...where has the time gone? The nights seem so long somedays, but in hindsight they haven't lasted long enough. Rogan also tried out his exersaucer for the first time this weekend. He is way too small for it, but he enjoyed relaxing in it and listening to the music as momma pushed the buttons. We spent Valentine's Day with Rogan's Godparents Emily and Seth and his cousin Elijah. It was a great, but exhausting weekend. Rogan had his first fever and both him and Mom have a pretty fierce cold. Hoefully today we can get back on schedule and get some sleep tonight.

Growing like a weed!

We had our 3 week check up today! Rogan is 9.5lbs (52nd %tile) 22" long (75th %tile) and his head circumference is 15" (51st %tile). I knew he was feeling much longer!!! We are starting vitamin drops since he is breastfed. We also have to massage his eye because he has a blocked tear duct in his right eye. Other than that he is a VERY healthy boy! Dr. Koch was impressed with how much weight he had gained in two weeks. He was 7lbs 3oz two weeks ago! We are going to try to get out for a walk and take advantage of today's beautiful weather!!!

Today Rogan had a quick photo session in his Husker outfit from G-ma Buresh. Too cute! His poor eye still looks a little infected and sore. :(

My sick little boy :(

Rogan has been battling a cold for about a week now. He has also had a gassy tummy and to top it all off an eye infection. POOR BABY!!! He hasn't been sleeping much at night and that has been a tad trying for both mommy and daddy, but just one quick smile during a 4am feeding and my heart melts all over again. Being a mom is the most amazing feeling in the world. Gabe made a comment last night that pretty much summed up how we feel. He said "I never thought something so tiny could hold so much of my heart. I just love him more than I ever thought I could." It is so true! He is such a good baby! Finally last night I think we had a breakthrough! His eye has begun to clear up from me putting breast milk in it. (I know it sounds crazy, but it works!) He actually slept for 3-4 hour increments, which was AMAZING! I feel refreshed and ready to handle the world again. We have abig week this week. We had Rogan's newborn pictures yesterday, tomorrow we have his 3 week appointment (with shots! YUCK!) then on Thursday we are going to meet our new daycare provider after our last one backed out on us when I was 40 weeks pregnant. Thank goodness because I LOVE our new one. Just a blessing in disguise! I can't wait to see how much Roe has grown in the past two weeks. He seems so much longer and heavier! I will get some pictures uploaded soon! he is changing so much everyday, but I haven't been doing a great job of taking pictures because we have been busy trying to get healthy again.

Our Big Boy!

When we left the hospital the nurses and doctors were concerned because Rogan had lost over 10% of his body weight. I took him to Milk works today and he has more than made up for his loss! Last Monday at his 5 day visit he weighed 7lbs 3 oz. Today our big boy was 8lbs 5oz!!!! I could tell he was filling out and gaining some weight, but I wouldn't have guessed he gained over a pound! WAY TO GO ROGAN!!!

Rogan's First Super Bowl Party!

Steelers are #1!

Rogan's first Super Bowl party

Rogan attending his first Super Bowl party last night. GO STEELERS! I could tell he was a true fan because he cooperated and ate right before the game, at half time, and right after the game so we didn't miss a minute of the action! Here is a few pictures... he is telling everyone that the Steelers are #1!

Born A Steelers Fan, Just Like My Mommy!!!

I have a few fun pictures to share! I have been bad about updating. He is changing so much everyday. Rogan is all set for the Super Bowl with his new favorite onesie that says, "Born a Steelers Fan Just Like My Mommy!Rogan is gaining so much weight so fast. I tried to weigh him with me and I think he is about 8 1/2 pounds! We gave him a bottle ast night and he sucked down 4oz then fed some more! He is a hungry, growing boy!
