Wow, I cant believe my sweet baby will be 6 weeks old tomorrow. I couldn't wait to blog until tomorrow. So much has happened this week! Mack is getting so big! He is still drinking 3.5 ounces most feedings, sometime I can get him to drink 4 ounces but that is rare. He is sleeping ok at night, if he is in our bed right beside me. I feel bad for putting him in our bed and I know I shouldn't be but when he is having his colicky times at night and I finally get him to sleep after over an hour of crying its just not worth it to lay him in his bed. It is so much easier and better for both of us to get some sleep! If I lay him in his bed or frog seat he sleeps for about an hour or a little more..If he sleeps with me he sleeps for 4 hours or more! I do try to put him in his bed for at least a couple hours a night but the majority of the night he is in our bed. He is starting to smile on purpose now!!! I don't know if they are supposed to be smiling on purpose now but he is! Shon got him to do it first, he made a tooting sound with his mouth (when you stick your tongue out between your lips and blow). He smiled a huge sweet smile several times. Then he did it for me the next day so I know he was doing it on purpose! Every morning now we have a little play time when he wakes up! It is so precious!
I left the house for the first time without Mack or Shon this week. I went shopping and out to eat with my girlfriends, Lashaye Johnston (Aunt Shaye), Brittanee Johnson, and Andrea Kinney. We went to Huntsville and out to eat at Carabbas. I didn't get home until around 10:30! I was missing him terribly but I had a great time! Shon watched him the whole time I was gone. While I was gone Mack had his first blow out poopy diaper and Shon got to change it! haha He said it was all over his pants and everything, I thought this was so funny! He did a good job while I was gone! The next day Shon left early that morning to go to the Masters Golf Tournament with Blake Mozely. He has been wanting to go for years so he was very excited. He was gone for 2 full days, Mack and I missed him so much! He brought Mack back a little caddy teddy bear we named him Bogey!
We went to visit Shon's dad Terry, Granddad, at his house for the first time this week too. Shon's sister LaShaye and her kids were there and Shaye also brought Talya's little girl Amelia with her so we had all the cousins together for the first time. Of course we had to take pictures but its kind of hard with 4 little ones! :) Abram and Mack had on the same shirt, they were so cute!
We went to visit Papaw Curtis at his house this week as well. And Finally we got to meet Miss Erah Kate Reese! Our best friends had their baby girl on April 4th! We have had so many friends that have been expecting and Rachel was the last one that had not had her baby so we were so excited for them when she had her. Mack is going to have so many friends to play with! We are all so blessed!
