How sweet is that face???

Sweet sleeping baby... I never get sick of this precious one.
He's so big in the car seat compared to when we first brought him home!!!

Tomorrow Mack will be 6 weeks old! We can't believe it. He weighs 10 pounds and is such a little joy. He has out grown all of his little teeny clothes, so we're now into the 0-3 month old things. It's amazing to see him change right before our eyes! We're still working on getting him to sleep better during the night. He does awesome during the day, but at night it is a bit more challenging. We've been doing the co-sleeping thing and that has helped some. The great thing about that set up is that I (Katie) don't have to get out of bed to feed him... I just roll a bit closer to him and "surrender the boobie!" We got a book called The Happiest Baby on the Block and it has some good suggestions. They stress the swaddling, so we're trying it. If anyone has any tips, please share! I LOVE when the sky starts to get light, because I think "yes! I made it another day!"

Tom has been easing back into work a bit, so it's been really good for me to get used to being alone with Mack during the days. So far it's been great! I started working out again, YAY!!!!!!!!! Tom got me this awesome baby jogging stroller with an infant seat adapter. It's been a life saver. It's a bit sad to know that I have such a long road ahead of me to go to get back in my "fighting shape", but I'm just so happy to be out there moving again. My baby weight is coming off... I'm down to where I was when I got pregnant, but I have about 10 more to go to feel really good again. I can't wait to be able to button my skinny jeans! That'll be awhile... but for 6 weeks, I'm feeling damn good. Plus I LOVE the new addition of the boobies. Too bad they aren't a permanent addition... they're awesome!

We'll keep adding more pictures. There is a halloween thing at the zoo starting this weekend, so hopefully we'll feel up to heading over there and we'll get some cute ones. Mack has a jack-o-lantern shirt and socks so we have to capture that!

Ciao for now, my friends.
