We're still here

Where has the week gone? While nothing hugely exciting has happened, we have hit some milestones -- all baby-related, sorry -- that is making life a little sweeter around here.

The first is that we survived our first road trip with a five-week-old. Last weekend we went up to KC to see family and introduce Park to his great grandma Howard. As you can tell here, they hit it off pretty well.



The second milestone is that Craig has established a nighttime routine that Park seems to enjoy. We had tried several different things, but the last two nights have included a bath followed by a warm bottle and the combination seems to put the little guy in a coma for several hours -- four last night, to be exact. Our evenings are now full of possibilities. TV! Movies! Just sitting in a quiet house ... or going to bed super early! Now we just need to train Park to sleep longer than two hours at a time for the rest of the night. Baby steps...

And finally, Park no longer screams bloody murder when we wash his hair. Well, not every time, at least.

Stay tuned next week where hopefully something more exciting will happen.

Park is really checking out GGma Virginia.

I think he is going to remember GGma. GGma seems to be taking by Park also.

Soon enough he'll be sleeping 12 at a time... just wait! Give it 10 more months. Then you'll be able to eat dinner, watch a movie AND get a full night of sleep. :)
