Our first week alone went fine, but I'm glad the weekend is here and that Dad is home! I tried to take a walk each day or have some other little activity to get out of the house. Aside from that most of our days were spent preparing to feed, feeding, cleaning up after the feeding and trying to keep him happy.

It's amazing how much Luke has changed in his short 6 weeks of life. See how big he looks in the bouncer? Spending all our time with him it's hard to notice every change, but we're trying to be conscious of them. He doesn't make the cute kissy face anymore when he wakes up and stretches. I'm glad he came early so we could see it (see rootin tootin video). One positive change is that he has been sleeping better at night, at least 2 or more hours straight this week, and he's not sleeping as much during the day.

He's also figured out he can cry. He didn't make much of a peep until about a week and a half ago, but now he's definitely shrieking! When we told his doctor at his one month appointment he didn't cry she laughed and said "oh he will". We thought "sure, she doesn't know our little cutey pie is too sweet to cry". Another lesson learned :) We haven't figured out what any of his crying means yet, but most of the time he stops if we feed him. Hope we're not fattening him up too much!

Here he is in action getting a little tummy time in. He's not as content doing it as he was in the beginning. We're getting a video camera soon so the videos should be better quality and more exciting!
