At some point, I imagine I'll be able to update more than once a week.

But for now, here's what we've been up to.

 Sitting in our vibrating chair and looking at the parrot

Sleeping - he sleeps in a wool soaker (to keep him comfortable and reduce number of diaper changes at night) that looks like a petticoat under his nightgown.

 a little perspective on how he's grown - the pic above is at one week old, and below is 3 weeks old.

He is a pretty great sleeper for one month old. However, he only sleeps when he feels like it - on this night, I was exhausted and he clearly was not. He fights sleep - eyes wide open until all of a sudden he's completely out.

This was early one weekend morning when he was ready to be up for the day and his daddy wasn't. Guess who won?

Just a cute baby.

His favorite place to sleep is wherever I am. He's a very snuggly sleeper.

On a morning walk - this was taken about a week ago, and is the last time this outfit fit him! Can't believe he's already growing out of things.

Trying to get him to look at something other than the inside of his stroller - not easy.

He shows he's hungry by trying to put his fingers in his mouth. Usually its the whole fist, but around 3 weeks (yes, this post is late) he started to sometimes get 1 or 2 fingers in. When he succeeds, he gets so confused and excited that he pulls them right back out.

Baby bird spends lots of time mouth open just in case there's food nearby.

Again, baby bird.

Resting up for the Saints season opener!

And talking to that cute baby in the mirror.

Watching the saints with his daddy. Well, daddy was watching the game, B was watching the fan. 

In the past week...

 B loves tummy time. He has really good neck control and can pick his head up and turn it from side to side. He also really likes pulling his legs underneath them and pushing them back out again. We're convinced these are signs he's gifted. Obviously Ivy-bound.

 This is how he breaks out of any swaddle, no matter how tight. The boy needs to have his hands available for any situation that might present itself.

Above you see B on one of our morning walks. He is totally fascinated by the inside of his bassinet right now. I can only imagine how pumped he'll be when he realizes how much more there is to look at while being pushed around the neighborhood.

 Next morning's walk - this one spent thinking about eating when he gets back home. Notice the baby bird style open mouth.

 Like I said, he always has a plan about where his hands should be. Apparently during this nap it was very important they keep his nose in place.

This is one of my very favorites. He is looking at himself in the mirror and flirting. Clearly he agrees with his mommy that the baby in the mirror is the cutest baby ever.

Pensive in the mirror.

These are his gigantic diapers and his tiny legs. Lolly calls these his surfer dude pants. Adorable.
