We've officially survived over a month - David will be 6 weeks old on Friday. It's hard to believe how fast the time has gone and how big he's gotten! It took a 6 year old boy at target telling me to "enjoy my baby" for me to remember that this process is supposed to be enjoyable. It's getting there... I do think that these last few weeks can be summed up quite nicely by the saying on a onsie that Chris' work gave him: "Please satisfy my unreasonable needs immediately." :-)
Thank you very much to all of our friends who have helped us this last week! We had some very dear friends who came over to provide moral support and help Chris with the dishes. I can confidently say that there's no way we would have made it through this week without you. (My finger is healing nicely, but I still can't get it wet.)
David is doing well. He's starting to sleep better, though this hasn't really translated into more sleep for Mom and Dad, yet. A friend of mine told me that her boys started sleeping better around 11.5 pounds. Since David is right around 11 pounds, I'm really hopeful that he'll continue to get better at the whole sleeping thing.
He's gotten a lot more "active." My cousin sent us an adorable pumpkin hat that he loves to pull off of his head.
And then, there's the mystery of the sock: I laid him down on his blanket with both socks on. I turned around and 20 seconds later, his left sock was up near his right elbow. I'm not sure how that happened, but I'm betting he had something to do with it.
He's enjoyed some time chilling. Chris thinks the title of this next pic should be "Dave's not here, Man." I prefer to think that he's just wishing us all peace.
And finally ... below is what I call success:
