Hi there,
Above are some recent photos of Dakota.
The one with daddy is on 8/1-aren't they cute?!?! The one with Aunt Emmy is from 8/4-fun! The 2 with mom are on 8/5, and the one of just him is from today-SOOOO Cute!!!
Dakota turned 8 weeks old on 8/5, I seriously cannot believe how time is flying. He's growing up so fast! I must say I am shocked at how much time it takes to care for a baby...and he is a pretty great baby, but I barely get much else done each day. Oh well, he is totally my priority!!!
Here is a little update on our terrific son!
He is STILL getting up every 3 hours at night...it's tough being his exhausted mama, but there is nothing I enjoy more than being with my son, I wouldn't trade it for a million bucks-he is amazing!! He does like to sleep in til 10 or 11am....woot-woot, I love that. I think it is cool that our baby likes to sleep in...he is definitely a Banks.
He now weighs 11 pounds and 7 ounces...growing like a weed!
Dakota is completely adorable and seriously gets cuter and cuter by the day...we can barely believe it. :) Not that we are biased at all...tee-hee. But honestly people stop me everywhere I go to tell me how cute he is, and not people I know either, just random people...I cannot go anywhere w/o people stopping me to compliment me on my darling boy! As you can tell that makes my day!
Dakota has been "talking" a lot lately, especially to his daddy! It is super precious and his daddy just beams with pride when they have their little chats!! Dakota has a very manly voice...oh, so precious!!
Dakota loves when we sing to him, dance while holding him, and cuddle him-he is a lovey, sweet boy.
His favorite toy is a blue puppy that plays a guitar. We push a button and it plays the most high pitch little tune you've ever heard, but he loves it.
I am going back to work in early September and I am just dreading it. I have already cried several times as I do NOT want to leave my boy, I enjoy him so much. I know his babysitter is terrific and I am absolutely confident in her care of him...it's just that I want to be the one to raise him and care for him. Please pray for us and that transition.
Thanks for checking in.

Hi Shannon,
He is just precious. These are some of the best times ever...they get bigger so fast! Enjoy this time when he sleeps so much in your arms.
Do you have to go back to work? Stay home...raise him yourself. Just do it. You won't regret it!!
Praying for you in that decision.
Hey Banks Family,
He is so handsom, love his 8 week picture. I pray things work out were you can be home to raise him. You can't put a price on all those milestones.
Love, Aunt Becky
Great pictures! We'll be praying for you as you make decisions regarding your future.
