Hello agian!

Hello everyone!

I am so sorry I have been such a lame blogger recently! Adam and I have been busy getting to know our little guy and adjusting to parenting a newborn. I usually have only a couple of free hours a day when Wheaton is sleeping and it is really hard to fit everything in, especially when you include all of the baby related tasks like breast pumping and 800 loads of laundry per day (I still don't understand how such a tiny creature can generate so much dirty laundry!). I am lucky if I can put together a complete thought, much less a sentence! I have only just begun to write my thank-you notes! Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining. I am loving every minute of it, but when I have to choose between taking a shower and getting on the computer, a few minutes to wash up wins every time. My plan is to try to continue the blog doing one post a week on Sundays. So let's get everyone caught up!

Over the past few weeks, Wheaton has gained several pounds and is up to 8 pounds as of last week! Look at that belly! He is a very good eater and has taken well to breastfeeding. He usually eats every two and a half to three hours. This usually works out to about three to four time a night, which is not so bad as long as he goes right back to sleep afterward (which is not always the case). During the first few weeks home it became clear that he had his days and nights confused and he just wanted to party all night. He has begun to settle down in the wee hours, but still has nights when he just wants to hang out or snuggle. He started out sleeping in the co-sleeper every night, but he makes a lot of noise in his sleep so there were many nights when he and I ended up sleeping on the sofa so that Adam could get a few hours of sleep before work. Since then, Wheaton has begun to sleep in his crib in the nursery (unless we take a nap in the bedroom during the day), and Pussca has pretty much adopted the co-sleeper as her favorite sleeping spot. Wheaton seems to like his crib, but by morning, he is usually really to come into our bed for some snuggling. The photo to the left was taken one of the first nights he slept in the nursery. He was checking out his new bunk mates, the two Baxter Bunnies.

A VISIT FROM GRAMMY!

We also got a visit from Adam's mom a couple of weeks ago. She came in from Colorado and spent a week helping out around the house and spending some quality time with her new grandson. We had a great time and miss her already!

Right now some of Wheaton's favorite things include:His cool swing set with birds and nature sounds (courtesy of his Uncle Aaron and Auntie Brooke)

Wearing his awesome new shoes (Vans, just like his daddy's) Thanks, Annie!

Chillin' at the pool

Being super cute......


.....and snuggling with his family!

Well, that should get everyone up to speed for now. I will post some photos of the nursery and from my wonderful shower soon. Thank you all for checking in! I will do my best to do a post every Sunday. We'll see how it goes!
