Our Little Blessing is One Month Old Today!

I cannot believe how much Karch has grown and changed over the one month he has been in our lives. A few things that come to mind…he has grown out of newborn diapers, starting to stay awake and alert more during the day, developing a semi schedule, focuses on objects/us (we enjoy our staring contest), holds toys/fingers, and no longer needs to be swaddled at nigh. What a big boy!

Our Benjamin Button Yes, my son's waist is at his chest. He will grow into his pants soon enough. What is Daddy doing to me???? Yes, Daddy is a little crazy. A quick family photo before heading to dinner. Grandma Steichen, Aunt Lys, and Aunt Stacia watched the Tooter while we had a nice dinner together.

Coming up on one month!

Days and nights are getting so much better. Everyone is getting to know each other and all three of us are adjusting well. Karch is such a joy and I cannot believe he will be a month old this Saturday, crazy how time is flying by.

A recent funny moment… This past Saturday (1-10-09) Karch was awake for a long period of time while Jason and I were getting ready for company. He was entertaining himself on his mat, but we thought he would have a better time in his swing. SO…Jason put Karch in his swing. After a few moments he started to shriek. Jason rushed over and got him out of his swing and noticed a poopy surprise. Poor thing pooped out of his diaper onto the swing. I told Jason just to throw him into the bath with me. When I was finished rinsing Karch off Jason came to get him out of the tub, so I could finish my bath time before our company arrived. While Jason was walking around the house with Karch wrapped up in a towel, he started questioning an odd feeling down the side of his shirt and shorts. Karch decided he needed to tinkle and his naked booty tinkled all down the side of Jason. It was defiantly an eventful 30min.

Here are some more recent photos of the pooper!

2 1/2 WEEKS OLD

We are on week two and I feel like we are getting the hang of things. That or I am just used to being sleep deprived. Either way, I am proud of Jason and I for surviving 2 ½ weeks! Karch is a big help as well only lets us know when he needs a diaper change or a feeding. I am sure we spoil him by never putting him down, but that’s what babies are for, right?

I am doing great after my c-section. In the hospital I was up and moving around the very next morning. I crawled out of bed without the nurse…she looked at me like I was crazy, but I felt well enough to get up on my own. I hardly took my pain pills because they were not needed. Also, I am already squeezing back into my blue jeans- YEA!

Enough chitchat here are some more photos.
