Andrew’s first five weeks
Posted April 8th, 2011 by MichelleI’m just now starting to emerge from the fog of these first few weeks, and wishing that I’d had time to write about what this time has meant and done to me. All I can say in the short time I have while the boo is sleeping is that I can’t imagine a world without him. Although I can imagine a world with eight hours of sleep straight. Or twenty.
My family has been asking for pics, so here’s a random assortment of his first five weeks. In the last week, he’s started to truly lock eyes with me and give me big smiles, which is enough to melt away the exhaustion for a good hour. I know he’s just mimicking, but it’s brilliant to behold. But I haven’t yet successfully caught one of these smiles on camera. Anyway, from the beginning…

Popeye blurry smile...
I can’t believe my boo will be six weeks old next week. If I could, I’d stop the world and get off for a time with him. Although… I guess that’s what I’ve been doing these last five weeks. I love you, little guy.
awwww!
he’s adorable.
hope he gets to those longer stretches of sleep soon!
