week 2

I really don't intend on writing once a week and only about my son, but for now that's what you're gonna get. Hopefully in a few weeks when I have this mommy thing semi-figured out, my posts will be about things other than poopy diapers and 3am feedings :) Until then, however, I know of at least one or two of my readers who'll be interested in such posts...Erich's grandma and grandpa!

This week, Erich hung out with his two cousins, Dawson and Cash (and Cassidy, too!) at Grandma Susan's house. It was the first time all three of them have been together and of course, when we decide to take some photos of the event, my son decides it's time to cry and fuss. Needless to say, most all of the pictures we have, Erich is a little upset! It was fun, though, to have everyone together at my mom's and to enjoy a yummy dinner & cute, cute babies!!

Here are some other events from the week:

Mommy and Erich napped together on the couch and daddy took a picture! Erich's doing a pretty good job at sleeping at night and a little during the day. He's getting up just about every three hours to eat during the night and sleeps on and off during the day, in between feedings, while I try to get stuff done. He's sleeping in his crib wrapped up in his little baby straight jacket, kinda like a burrito, but it's the only way he'll sleep without waking himself up with his flailing arms and wiggling legs.

Erich has been helping me get my homework done. Ok, so not really, but he sits with me as I try to concentrate. We worked out a system...he likes sitting on my lap and I think he likes the sound of typing as I type up my assignments.

Yesterday, we made a big voyage down to Hinckley, Utah (near Delta) for cousin Dawson's baby blessing and to attend my sister-in-law's sister's wedding reception. Erich slept the entire way down (about 2 1/2 hours) and did great with all the action going on around him once we got there. Here he is chillin' on the floor, trying to cool off, in between the blessing and reception.


We are excited that the weather is finally warming up. I'm hoping to take Erich for a walk sometime this week in the cool stroller we got. We go to the pediatrician tomorrow for his 2 week visit and are hoping that all is well!! He's changing every single day!!
