Christmas will be forever changed

Archie and I are going to buy a Christmas tree today, because obviously somebody is in the holiday spirit.

On to the next challenge

I have officially kicked my son out of our bed. In the beginning it was all hunky dory. He didn't move much and barely made a sound. Now that dude is squirmy mcsquirmerson and feels it necessary to moan and groan all night. This is all cute and adorable (DURING THE DAY!) but when you are trying to get that much needed sleep this can become a bit much. Therefore, I have taken on the task of getting up 3 or more times a night to feed, burp and soothe him. Eventually I'm sure I will get used to it, but in the meantime I am surviving on 2 cups of extra bold sumatra coffee and many headstands to force some sense into this thing in my head called a brain.

Morning baby

Archie is a morning baby as you can see in this photo. He wakes up with a smile on that cute face and likes to chat for a couple of hours. After that he usually sleeps on and off for most of the day and then he's good to go again in the evening. Things are definitely coming together and he is just so much fun to be around. All my energy these days is focused on getting that boy to smile.

It looks like this is a mommy blog for now. One day I might have something else to talk about. Please don't leave me =)

Proud

This little guy loves to be read to and nothing soothes him more than the western themes of Al Caiola.

Today he put himself to sleep. Trust me people, that is huge!

Figuring it all out

Archie will be 1 month tomorrow (can you believe it?) and I'm slowly starting to get my groove.

Slowly.

The husband is off for the next 2 weeks so that should help in figuring it all out.

He is quite the little man.

Oh well

This was Archie today after I gave him a bath because he threw up every ounce of milk his momma so lovingly gave him.
Would you look at those legs! You should see his feet! Cutest things I've ever seen. =)

Life with baby

Eventually I will get around to chatting more about life with baby, but in the meantime I will put up pictures of the most amazing person I have ever met. Seriously.
This picture is Archie's 5th day on earth and we are going for our first walk. It's chilly here in New Mexico, so all you southerners don't freak out. He really did need a hat.
