Whirlwind...

My life is passing by so fast right now- it is a complete whirlwind. I barely even know what day of the week it is at any given time.



UPDATE ON THE BOY:


Brooks went through his 6 week 'growth spurt'. This has pretty much been my week:


how pissed does he look there?? LOL

Poor Eric has to come home to not just a cranky baby, but a miserable overtired wife. The past few nights he has slept a 5-6 hr stretch, so I hope that means we are out of the spurt.

Updates: we had our 1 month well visit at the pediatrician. Brooks measurements
weight: 10lb 5oz (birth: 7lb 4oz)
length: 21.5" (birth: 21"- but the ped got him at 19" so somethings off, he is growing)
head circumfrence: 15.5" (birth: 14")
cute factor: more and more adorable (birth: adorable)

evidence of said growth and cute factor:






A Boy and His Dog.
Ming has been pretty good so far. She doesn't do much with him- sniffs, once licked his leg, and then walks away. We did find her paws up on the crib checking him out one day, she sleeps on the rug in his room, gets jealous if other dogs get near his stroller, has buried one of his blankets in the couch, and has been awesome about understanding which toys she can't have. I think they are going to be best friends.


Activities: One thing that is great, is that B gets knocked out by the stroller. This has allowed us to get out- and we want to take him out as much as possible so that as he gets older he is used to it and we can go places with him.

His first jeans- worn to dinner to say goodbye to good friends of ours who are moving out of the city:

Meeting Daddy for dinner after work on Friday:



Eric and I had our first night out- a good friend got married. I was very nervous leaving Brooks with the inlaws (I would have been nervous leaving him with anyone- it was just leaving him that was tough). I only made Eric call home twice (although we were only gone 5 hours). Apparently the little guy did pretty well (thank goodness he was out of the cranky spurt from the few days prior.

Here is Eric and I at the wedding:



Funny story- at the end of cocktail hour I brushed my dress with my arm and what do I feel?? the freaking security sensor. No joke- we had the valet get our car, drove about a mile to the nearest macys, I walked in setting off the alarms and looking ridiculous b/c I was dressed up, and they removed it while i was wearing the dress, eric had drove around city hall, picked me up, and we made it back just in time for them opening the reception. I think that was Eric's fave part of the wedding- he thought it was hysterical.
