xavier's already 5 weeks old. it has been so busy these last 5 weeks, that the beginning of xavier's life has gone by in a blur. all of a sudden he has a belly that is practically busting through his newborn onesies. at his one month appointment, he was about 9.5 lbs and over 23 inches long.

how can it be that you can love someone so much and all they do is eat, sleep, poop and pee all the while depriving you of sleep and a bit of sanity? i cannot imagine life without him and how much joy we would have missed out on if he hadn't come into the world. i love him!!!

when xavier was just 4 days old, owen decided that he was ready to hold his baby brother:

one week old:

two weeks old:

three weeks old:

four weeks old:

five weeks old (in his snugglesaurus outfit! - notice he barely fits in the onesie):
