4 weeks

Today our little man turns 4 weeks. We can't believe how quickly the time is going. On Tuesday of this week daddy had to go back to work, so it was just Rohn and mama for 48 straight hours. We actually did quite well without daddy, but we were very excited to see him when he came home.

Rohn is really starting to be more alert. He raises his head off of our shoulders and looks around, and his awake times are really starting to get longer and longer. He is also starting to track objects near him. When his attention is on something he will follow it around. We are not quite sure how much he weighs, but we are pretty sure it is somewhere near 10 pounds, if not more!! He has also started to smile, you might be thinking it's gas, but we think it's a genuine smile!

We are excited for what the next few weeks will bring. Rohn will be going on his first trip in an airplane on June 16th. We can't wait to show him off to all of the family in Alaska.

A few of the favs...

Here are a few of my favorite pictures so far :)
Our little guy has the cutest dimples. We catch him smiling all the time. While we know the smiles aren't for us yet, we still think they are super adorable. We can't wait until he smiles for us...we know it won't be long!

Since Jarrod and I both have blue eyes, we think Rohn may end up with blue eyes too! While it is still too early to tell, we think they are already blue!!

When he sleeps, his hands are always up by his face. I think it may be because his hands were by his face for so long in the womb.

Visitors

We were very fortunate to have Jarrod's dad and my mom come and stay with us for nearly 3 weeks. My mom was such an amazing help. She cooked yummy food, cleaned for us, and helped us with Rohn. We were very sad to see her go back home yesterday. You never realize how important your parents are until you become a parent yourself. Thanks for all of your help mom. We love you and miss you tons!!


Besides my mom and Jarrod's dad visiting we have also had many other visitors. Jarrod's mom, and step dad, our 2 brothers, and many other friends. Rohn is very lucky to have been born into such a loving group of family and friends. We thank all of you for being a part of his life.

Rohn Michael Allison

Our little bundle of joy arrived on April 30th at 5:49 pm via c-section. He never ended up turning due to the cord being wrapped around his neck. He weighed 8lbs 13 oz and was 19 1/2 inches long. At his first dr. appt he had lost a few ounces, but was almost 22 inches long, so we think the breech position may have made it difficult for the nurses to measure him. We have been having a great time getting to know our son. He is a very sweet, mild mannered baby.
