BJ....Susan....Damon: Fun Times

Wow it has been quite a while since I last posted! Damon is 7 weeks old today and is just growing and growing! He now weighs 10 lbs. 4 oz...and we are starting to feel it in our arms and backs when we hold him :) I was holding him in his carrier/car seat today and almost lost my balance because I was unprepared for all of the weight! He is stayig awake for longer periods throughout the day and sleeping for longer during the night. He usually doesn't fall asleep until about 2:00 am though so that is a little rough. Once he goes to sleep he only wakes up twice to eat until he is up for the morning...which is so nice for me because he'll sleep until about 9...not so great for BJ since he has to be up by 7. Ha.

We have had some fun outings the past few weeks and some firsts for Damon. We were able to go to the Wasatch County Fair 4 weekends ago and take Damon to the parade (not so exciting for a 4 week old), the following weekend we walked around Temple Square (beautiful as always), 2 weekends ago Damon took his first trip to Malad to visit Grandma and Grandpa Hess, and this past week we took a trip to Heber to help Grandma Susan get ready for school. Well, that was the intention but really Damon was mostly a distraction to his Grandmother :) Damon also got to meet his uncle Chito for the first time and his soon-to-be aunt Michelle! Chito proposed to Michelle a couple weeks ago and we are so excited to have her in the family!

Damon took his first bottle and also started smiling at us! That is by far the greatest "first" so far!
