Tonight, while we were eating dinner, we realized that the sunset outside was simply gorgeous.
So we wrapped you up and headed out to look at it and snap a few photos.

When I was a kid, my family would sometimes do this too... my dad would suddnely call out "Sunset Alert!" and we would all drop everything and go stand in the front yard and watch the colors in the sky.

Yes, I know that many of the pretty colors are due to pollution .. but still, I like the memories of us all taking a moment to appreciate the beauty of the sunset as a family.

I am sure our neighbors thought we were freaks.

Anyway, it was pretty nifty to do that with you tonight. I hope there are many beautiful sunsets to look at in your life and I hope you aren't always too busy to notice them.

You are so cute... and useful for exacting revenge!

Today I had to have the handyman come over and fix our leaky shower. I really want to take a nice hot shower, but noooo I can't because of the leaky.

So I call. I tell him, I have a newborn, so can he plase knock on the door when he gets here. He agrees.

And then he rings the bell

Which wakes you up from a nap you didn't want to be taking anyway.

So...

So I stood behind him while he worked and let you scream at him.

Share the screams, that's my new motto!

Oh tummy time... how you like it! I'm glad because I have heard moms talk about how their little ones hate it.

You don't seem to mind, and you are so active! I even took a video of you and your tummy time... let's see if I can get it to load up here.... (and yes, you have the hiccups all the darn time!)

Sometimes you like your seat. Sometimes not.

You are up to 10 pounds and 3 oz... so feeding you is working! Yay! 

Although I have been put on a lactose free diet... not so yay... Your mommy is a milk fiend, just so you know, and this sacrifice of milk and yogurt is going to be hard....

I have to find us both new doctors now as our insurance is changing... I am really disapointed because I wanted you to stay on Kaiser, but alas, we can't afford it. Hopefully I can find you a Dr that is close enough to walk to....

We have no pattern, we have no real routine.
But, we do have this awesome play mat thing from Miss Ashley and you seem to really like it!
It seems a bit cruel that nothing is hanging down long enough for you to reach... not that you could reach it right now anyway, but still. Maybe when you get bigger I will attach other things to it.

I wonder how long you will be entertained by these simple things?

You are already outgrowing some of you newborn clothes!

I love this photo! You look like you are contemplating what you are seeing... is it too soon for you to be doing that? I don't know, I just know that you look at me so seriously sometimes I sort of understand why some people belive that babies are born full of knowledge but they slowly forget things over time.....

There you are wearing a monkey outfit I picked out for you.

I asked Daddy to take this photo as I wanted one with you on my lap to show how nicely you fit there.

Today was our first day just you and me.

It was.... it was long and tiring and wonderful all at once.
