Fun with PhotoBooth

You know it's been a boring day when this happens:

FaceTime with Papa

Papa calls Mama every day on his lunch break just to say hi. Today when he called I was being fussy and crying. We switched over to FaceTime, and being able to see and talk to him calmed me right down. Technology is pretty cool!

Growing fast

Tonight at bath time, Mama couldn't help but notice how much I've grown in the last 6 and a half weeks.  Here's a little comparison.

This is me at one week old.  See all the extra space in my Blooming Bath?

This is me today at 6 and a half weeks old.  Pretty soon I'll be too big for the sink!

I've already grown out of my newborn clothes, but I'm not quite ready for my 3-month outfits yet.  Today Mama bought me just the right size -- 0-3 months -- and I think I look pretty cute!

Naptime in the nursery

So far, Mama and Papa have kept me pretty close all day, even when I'm sleeping.  But today they brought me up to my nursery for nap time.  I think it worked out pretty well for everyone.

And tonight while Mama was working, Papa kept her updated on how I was doing.  She misses me when she's working, so she likes getting pictures to know everything's okay.  (She can hear the screaming and crying when it's not, so Papa skips those updates).

Routine, schmoutine

Mama's been working for three days now, and Papa's trying to get me settled into a routine...or, more realistically, a sleep schedule.  But I have plans of my own.  I love spending time with him so much that the moment he puts me down, I start crying.  It works like a charm every time.  He picks me up and I get to snuggle on his chest for a nap.  Only 6 and a half weeks old and I've already got him wrapped around my little finger.  Here's Papa making a pouty face because I won't let him put me down.

Me and Lexi Lou

When I first came home from the hospital, Lexi Lou was pretty out of sorts.  She wasn't quite sure how to respond to me and even refused to eat for two whole weeks!  Since then she's come around quite a bit.  She still gets excited when I start crying, but more than anything, she loves to give me kisses!

Evenings with Papa

Mama had to go back to work today.  Lucky for us, she works down the hallway in the guest room now, so she still gets to come give me kisses during her breaks.  That means me, Papa, and Lexi Lou will be hanging out together during the evenings while she works.  This is Mama and me taking our last nap together before her assignment started tonight.

Mama also has a wrap that she can tuck me inside so we can be super close when she's prepping her jobs and Papa isn't around to watch me.  It's so much better than being alone in my pack-n-play, and I can still nap while she works.
