6 weeks already??

Once again, I am astounded at how I haven't been able to manage keeping up with this blogging stuff! We have had six fun-filled, very busy weeks with Wells in our lives! We are a little sleep-deprived, but not much worse for the wear, and things continue to improve daily! We are starting to be able to tell the difference between his cries: "I'm wet," "I'm hungry," "I need my munchie" (pacifier for those of you not in our household), "I'm really really really tired but am refusing to go to sleep," and "Why the heck did you put me in this crib when you know I would rather just sleep on your chest??"

During this time, we have had a lot of "firsts." We took Wells to his first movie, to the beach for the first time, to the pool, and to church. He has also started to sleep through the night. (whew!) He has slept at least 7 hours for 6 out of the last 7 nights, and usually it is from about 10pm - 6am! We are very happy for the sleep we are also getting. Of course, we are still trying to get the boy to take naps regularly. One thing at a time.

We have taken lots and lots of pictures, and these are just a few...

We tried to have "tummy time" but he wasn't quite ready!

He likes the bouncy seat for short periods of time only.

This was back when he still had hair! (1 month old)

Wells didn't mind the water on his feet, but didn't like it when it came up on his body!


He took a great nap on the beach.

He didn't so much like the water at first!

It wasn't so bad once he got used to it.

He has started smiling a lot and "talking" to us.

It is really hard to capture the smile on camera, though.

Notice the receding hair line... he has rubbed off the hair from the front of his head onto the bumper in the crib!

This is his "big boy" outfit that he wore to church for the first time yesterday.

He's posing on the giant dog that we got as a shower gift.
