New pictures!









I suppose you probably want an update.

Sunday, we weighed Calvin, 10.5 lbs...save a few ounces because he was wearing a (clean) diaper. He's getting SO big. His old man skin on his knees is filling out quickly....probably due to how much this kid eats! If he is anything like Alex, we're going to have a hell of a grocery bill in the future.

His nights are....so-so. He has good nights and bad nights, as I'm sure any newborn does. He slept for 5 whole hours one night..but that appears to have just been a tease because it hasn't happened again. Oh well. He is usually up every 2-3 hours wanting to be fed, which is difficult considering that with Alex's comps coming up and the importance of his studying, I've taken over full nightly duties (at least during the week, on the weekends it's his turn ;) ) Thankfully he falls back asleep easily after his tummy is full.....usually. He is getting more regulated though, thanks to the schedule I put him on. I would take this any day over what it used to be like, where he was up constantly because his nights and days were mixed up. He understands for the most part that nights are for sleeping and days are for playing...and sleeping.

He loves his tummy time! He loves to just lounge around on his boppy and look around. He is really able to focus on things now. He loves Gary, he watches him intently....although Gary isn't too fond of him. He's a little apprehensive of this little loud, smelly thing. I would be too. He also loves his swing...I tell you, it is a mother's dream. He likes to sit in it even if he is awake, with the rocking though, he isn't awake for long....it makes it so much easier to get whatever I need to done. He usually naps in the swing in the morning while mommy takes a shower....I love it probably more than he does :)

Let's see....what else does he do. Eat....got that, sleep.....got that too, poop.....that's about it, really.
