And here I am, updating this
blog, like a goober. I’m tired, but I need to feed the baby
before bed. He is sleeping in his swing now. He likes the
swing. He’s been sleeping so good this evening. I think he had
a bellyache or something, but it seemed to start getting better
this afternoon. Hopefully he will be fully happy again in the
morning.

I’ve also started co-sleeping,
which is making my nights easier. Before he was born I thought
the whole idea was crazy, but now I definitely see the merit.
I’m not sure I’ll want to do it long term, but right now I
think it’s what we both need to get a good night’s sleep. We
also need me to go to bed when I’m done doing what needs to be
done and not do silly things like this.
Lex is so
awake and alert these days. He smiles when you smile at him, he
loves his changing table, he can hold his head up very well,
and stand for awhile. He’s even walking with support (his
balance isn’t great yet, but he is very strong). He has also
started reaching for toys, batting at things, and looking at
himself in the mirror. And yet, after almost two months, I’m
still amazed that we actually have a baby. It’s such an
incredible thing! When he hurts all I want to do is make things
better. And when he smiles his big gummy smile, my heart melts.
Aww…. I love him!
