5 weeks later…

he likes baths until you wash his hair!

Gosh, time does definitely go fast. He is already 5 weeks old, he’s officially a month old. If you would ask me how the first month is, I would say……about what I expected. The first 2 weeks were WAY easier than I expected, he was a perfect baby and slept a whole bunch. I think he had a bit of a growth spurt around 3 weeks, because things got a little tougher…and he was fussy a lot, and was always hungry and wouldn’t sleep very well for me. But now he’s sleeping in his crib again and he’s back to his regular feedings and he’s just a perfect baby. He is officially smiling, you’re lucky if you get to see it though because it’s just very rare and random still. I got a little pic of a big ole smile, it’s not the greatest cuz my finger was in front of the flash, lol…I just used my little camera since it’s easy to grab and I don’t have to doing anything to the settings, but I sometimes forget how to use the thing, lol….even though I’m a photographer, lol. Honestly, the first few weeks, I didn’t really feel like a mom, even though I knew I was…but the bond between us is growing more and more everyday…and I feel more like a mom now than I did when he was born. Maternity leave has been great, although I’m not sure I could do this for much longer than the 12 weeks, but maybe it’s just because of his age right now….and if I had more friends that were home during the day…I could definitely do it. But it’s actually hard to get anything done around the house and it’s frustrating because the house gets dirtier than normal since I’m home during the day…and he just doesn’t give me a lot of time to clean…lol.

Life is definitely different, but honestly it’s for the better…I couldn’t even imagine my life without Landen James. I couldn’t even imagine a whole day without him.
