3 WEEKS OLD!!!

I can't believe our little man is already three weeks old. He had a doctor's apt. this week and here are his stats. He is perfectly healthy. He is in the 95% for height, 75% for weight, and 50% for head size.

Length: 22.75 inches
Weight: 9lbs. 11oz

Here are some of the pictures from his photo shoot. My friend Andrea did them and she rocks. I am SOOOO happy with how they turned out! To see the rest click here






Little Sterling is such a sweet baby! He is starting to be awake a lot more during the day and we are having so much fun with him!

I am feeling pretty good too! I try to get out of the house and run an errand at least once everyday!

MORE pictures!!!

More pictures for the fam....and anyone else who might be obsessed with our little guy!

Little Sterling does this funny move where he covers his face with his hand....so dramatic!!! I love it, and am glad that I finally have it documented!

Major cutie is right!!! I think it is a total crack-up to have him in camo stuff. Such a boy!
"Hello everybody!!!" He just wanted to say hi to everyone!


Sometimes he looks so big and others times he is so tiny. Here, he is totally tiny!

We are still having the best time with our little man! He is such an angel in every way. Did I mention that he sleeps from 12:30 to 6:30am???

2 WEEKS ALREADY?!?!?

I cannot believe how fast the time flies when you have a cute little baby in the house! Baby Sterling is two weeks old today and I can hardly believe it!

Seriously...such an angel!!
This kid cannot get enough of his dad! Sure he is all about me when he is hungry, but then he wants his dad!

My mom left on Monday and we are so sad! She was here for 2 and a half weeks and we had such a great time! We miss you mom!

I love this picture because he looks like he is posing for a picture...maybe he was!!!!

So far, the best two weeks of my life. Every time I look at little Sterling, I feel so grateful for him! He has been such a blessing in our lives! We love him so much!

MORE PICS!!!!

If you haven't noticed...we take a lot of pictures! My family keeps asking for more pics, so here they are.

I can't get enough of how cute little Sterling is when he is sleeping!!! Look at those legs!!!

We went to sacrament meeting on Sunday...little Sterling didn't even make a peep!

On Saturday, we went out shopping. I was a little nervous that Sterling was going to be cold. Do you think I bundled him enough???

Our first time using our stroller. We thought it was a picture moment. Little Sterling is tucked in there...under all those blankets!

He has the biggest eyes and I love it when he is alert!

We are having just way too much fun with this little guy!!!!

BOYS ANYONE???


I highly recommend these Pee-pee Tee-pees to anyone who has a boy! They have saved me so many times when changing our little guy!!!

WAY TOO FAST!!!

This first week has just gone by way too fast!!!

Our first time out of the house. We went to his five day checkup. His pediatrician said he looks great and was the easiest appointment all day!!!
Sterling is having so much fun with his little boy. The second he gets home from work or school, he is all about his little man!!!

On Tuesday, he wore this onesie and he really lived up to it! He peed on everything he could! We spent the whole day laughing and cleaning up after him.

I could sit and hold him all day long!

He does this cute little move with his hands when he gets super hungry! So dang cute!!!
This first week has been a dream come true! Every time I look at baby Sterling, I just can't believe that he is ours!!!

LITTLE MR. FILLMORE

As requested, here are more pictures of our little man!

He has adorable camo socks (thanks Taryn) on in this picture, of course it needed to be documented!! Such a proud dad!

This is his first bath! He really seemed to like the whole experience. My mom always bathed us in the sink. I am going to carry on that tradition!

Hooded bath towels are the best!

Dad thought the sunlight was hurting his eyes...


Baby Sterling had some visitors yesterday. The Wheatleys and the Cooleys came over. I love this picture because Matthew has his hand around Sterling's shoulder...buddies already! Thanks for stopping by, we LOVE visitors!
Ok...who can even handle how cute this shot is?!?! He does this cute little smile every now and again. He is the cutest thing ever!!!
Stay tuned for more pics soon!!!!

OUR LITTLE MAN!

We brought baby Sterling home yesterday. Having a baby in the house is about the best thing ever!

He was checking me out here while dad was holding him! You can sort of see his blond hair in this picture.

Dad getting him ready to take him home!
All ready!!

Getting him out of the car to take him up to his new home!

We came home to grandma. She had a yummy meal ready for us, so much better than hospital food!!!
This is what I woke up to this morning!! We are having so much fun feeding and changing this little guy.

I am so in love with baby Sterling! This little guy was DEFINITELY worth the wait!

He's Here!!!

This is Sterling guest blogging for Jessi. Here's some much awaited pics of our new little boy, Sterling Henry Fillmore, born last night (18/09/08) at 8 lbs 10 ozs, 21 inches.

Mom giving Jessi a pre-delivery massage. It's been great having her out here.


It's a boy!!! (He actually sprayed the nurse seconds after getting out of the womb.)

A more modest pose.


Sitting up.


Jessi, Sterling, and Dr. Kim just minutes after delivering. Doesn't Jessi look great?

OVERDUE!!!

This is me on my due date...yesterday!!! Since my mom got here, we have been doing nothing but walking. I have had a lot of contractions but obviously he is not ready yet!


In the meantime, I am having a BLAST with my mom! We went to Mount Vernon on Friday.

Last night we did a monument walk, they are so beautiful in the evenings. The Lincoln memorial is my favorite!!

Our family tradition on the morning of Sunday conference is to eat my mom's yummy griddle cakes. This is probably the first year that my family didn't have them...but we did. They were delicious!!!

In between conference sessions we went and walked around Arlington cemetery. The weather was beautiful today!!!

We are having so much fun! I will keep you all posted if anything changes at all!!!
