That's awesome that you kept track of all those "firsts". He'll appreciate that when he's older. :)
He's just so adorable!
Glad you guys had a good trip! I can't believe how much the little guy has changed in just a couple of weeks.
Alas though, you didn't miss much excitement on this front. New Year's is over and it's back to the grind again. When is the next vacation day????
Kari U.: I have tried to keep track...some of the things are hard to remember back to because I wasn't doing much in those first two weeks...but I did my best. I have kept a journal and am almost up to date with that...actually I have already filled two complete journals and just started the third (these were all since I got pregnant). I love to journal when I am nursing him at 5am, I find that keeps me awake enough to keep him awake enough to eat:) Newborns are hard to keep awake especially when you are breastfeeding (it is sooo nice and cozy:)
Kari P: Since I am with him every day I don't see the changes very much, but I know he is starting to fill out:) He has gained a pound already!! That's my boy!
