Already a month old!!

Before we know it Scott will be dating, driving and giving us teenager attitude, but for now he's just an adorable little lump.

He's sleeping about 4 hours at a time at night (which I'm super-thankful for) and he's eating really well. We know he's huge...gained a pound a week for the first couple weeks!! At his 2-week check-up he weighed 11 lbs 4 oz and was 23.5" long.

A fun comparison: Allison and Scott














We've actually gotten a bit of rain lately (thank goodness!!!),
so Allison had a chance to try out her new umbrella.
It's the cutest thing!!

It takes every ounce of control I have to let her climb by herslf, but she's pretty good at it.

Spring- and Summer-time fun with Allison

Some random and various pictures that have accumulated...

We're still doing pretty well with potty training, though I fear that she'll regress a bit with the new baby around. She definitely proud of her sticker chart though; it's on display in our living room.

Introducing Scott Gregory Baird

Scott was born on Thursday, June 23 at 3:13pm (so he's 2 weeks old already...time sure flies!!!). He was 9 lbs 14 oz, 20.25" with a head circumference of 14.5".

He was almost a week overdue, so we decided to induce (I'm what you call a little impatient; that and pregnancy in 100 degree weather is not fun at all!!). The labor went pretty easily, especially considering that he was as big as he was. I got pitocin at 5:30am, labored for about 7 hours until I got my epidural, then he was here right after that. No problems or issues during labor or delivery, I just got a bit stir-crazy afterwards sitting in the hospital. Once we got home, we settled in well. Allison is very proud of "her baby" and is doing pretty well being a big sister.

Unlike Allison, Scott does not like being swaddled at all. I gues he was stuck in my belly long enough that he's ready to spread out. He always sleeps with his hands by his face. I love this look, he's very pensive; either trying to find a solution to the world's energy crisis, or maybe just thinking about his next poop.
