How quickly the months can pass! Here is a quick recap of Alexandria Moreira life in week five and six of Troy's life:
Troy outgrows his newborn diapers and Mama is quite sad her little boy is growing so much. On 8 June Troy had his 4 week appointment and he weighed 11.11 lbs and was 23.5 inches long, putting him in the 95% for both. His head, which looks small on his body, is 75%.
The Taylors had their baby, Xander Scott Taylor, one of Troy's buddies. Xander's hobbies include crying, boobs, and sleep (per Amanda).
Troy and Dad were watching the NBA Finals. At the time, the Celtics looked like they had a shot. Oh well.
More visits from Abuelo.
Troy's other good buddy, Harrison. Touchdown! Cristy and Tristen both think the boys look like little Daddy's boys.
And even more in this picture. Troy says, "Take that right in your ear Harrison!" BAM!
Troy says, "Thanks Mama and Tristen for this photoshoot."
Slowly but surely, Troy has taken over Papa's space. See Troy, here, all over Papa's pillow while he dresses for work in the morning. Also notice how he looks around, seemingly ambivalent to his megalomania.
Another photoshoot from Mama.
Troy says, "Are you my brother?!?"
Troy says, "Thanks Aunt Elaine for all my cool presents!"
Troy says, "Thanks Mississippi Campbells for my truck overalls!"
It doesn't look it, but Troy does love his sling-thing.
Tuesday, 15 June Grandma Sue came to visit for two weeks. Yay for grandparents!
Saturday, 18 June, Nathaniel, Nate, and Drew traveled to Warm Spring to compete in a Triathlon. The 750 meter swim had a current that left the three swimmers exhausted before the race had ever really begun. (Note: Drew's number is #12 because he accidentally signed up as a girl. Oops.)
BUT Drew also shaved a "W" into his goatee for "Win," which more than makes up enough man points for the above clerical error.
All three placed low on the finishers list, but raced well and were proud of their hard work in training for the event. Nate actually raced extremely well for the bike that he owns; his bike split put him in the middle of the pack (racing against people with bikes three and four times more expensive than his own).
20 June marked Nathaniel's first Father's Day.
And he got exactly what he asked for, "Hint of Jalapeno Tostitos."
Later in the day we went to a historic Fire Department in Old Town Alexandria for free pictures.
Troy needed a diaper change on the antique furniture. Unfortunately, a large group of people from a group home soon came into the building and went upstairs to check out the museum. Oh well.
Later at the Burke Moreiras home for a Daddy BBQ.
3/4 Moreira men.

Aunt Carly and her nephew exchange a heartfelt moment.
Troy says, "I love my Abuela."

He's sooo cute, we miss him already! I love all the pictures of Troy with his baby friends- it's pretty apparent that he is the alpha-baby of the group :)
awww how adorable! Happy first Father's Day to Nathan! You guys are going to keep him little and squishy until we visit in November...right?
Oh you guys, cute stuff! I am so rushed I just zipped through the pix, but want to read all through it when I can. I especially love "are you my brother" so cut. But kind of reminds me of what my kids say when they see any of you big guys. Love ya, take care.
