Almost 1 month old!

Lets see....I suppose I've drug my feet on updating the blog because the most exciting thing that has happened is Silas cooing for the first time a few days ago...that and I sometimes get to take a shower when I trick him into sleeping long enough!

Where's the baby?

 We have been on a steep learning curve. Newborn care doesn't come naturally! We've trimmed his little nails twice now and had one snafu in which we got his little finger. Bathing has also been more complex than originally thought. We have it nailed down now. There are no tears shed during bath time anymore....just pee.

After a few weeks we have finally minimized the number of onesies that are peed through! We've also improved on limiting the number of golden showers that hit walls, mirrors, him and ourselves. He's a wild boy!

A very serious diaper exchange

Andrew has been working hard with his classes but he definitely gets time with his boy and sometimes, thats exactly what Silas needs. 

 Consoling that little boy at night is a two man team effort most of the time. Once he's asleep though we're good for a few hours at a time generally.

Despite the cold weather I have been making attempts to walk with Silas. I figured out a better way to carry him for said walks.  I then cover him with a blanket, he naps and I find my sanity through getting outside for 30 minutes. The dogs get to go out during these walks too and get to go play in the run for a few hours!

We received Silas's baby photos so I'll start posting pictures throughout the blog for everyone. They are adorable! The best part is I know when he's older, he will just love that his naked butt is in all of these shots.

We plan on giving Dr. Morris ( the Dr. who delivered Silas) a copy of the picture with him on the snowboard and Dr. Arronte the picture of him with the teddy bear hat on at my 6 week check up. Silas has a check up on February 4th for his one month visit.
