Oh lovely nap time...

This is my new most absolute favorite picture of Peanut.

I can't help but smile when I look at that picture. I hope you do too! Des is down for a nap right now I thought I'd hurry and do an update. Nap time is one of the few times I am able to sit down and concentrate on anything. I have started to sort my daily task list into these three categories:

1. Can be done with baby awake
2. Can be done while holding or nursing baby
3. Must be done while napping

Blogging falls into that third category. I can not seem to complete anykind of post while he is awake or I am holding him. Even though it seems possible I just haven't found the skills to do it yet. I will persevere!

Ok here's the update. Our lovely little Peanut is growing up so quick. He smiles, he's an excellent snorer and he is developing bald spots in exactly the same places as his Dad. Poor guy(s)! He is quite a runt though. At 7 weeks he only weighed in at 8lbs 11ozs, and he is so skinny (he makes up for that by being tall and lanky) that he is just barely growing out any of his newborn clothing. The only outfits I have actually retired are his premie outfits and the little monkey shoes. His feet and hands are huge! He is quite the snuggler and if he could he would like to be held absolutely all day everyday. I oblige him all too often. He is sleeping great, giving me 6 hour streches at night.  Hallelujah. Well rested Mom=happy Mom. Happy Mom treats everyone better.

Also he his so cute, and our ward members so kind, that they decided we needed another baby shower. I was so surprised and grateful! It was a great way for me to get to know more people. One lady decided she is absolutely done having kids so not only did she get us a gift but she gave me a giant bag full of all the baby clothes her sons have grown out of. Our little dresser once full of girly items is bursting at the seams with boy. And they absolutely spoiled him like everyone else has. I am so thankful for everything everyone has shared with us! We are just too lucky.



Picture time after the baby shower

And right on cue, Des is sounding that his nap is over. Adios till next time! I'm off to feed him and read "The Help". Finishing book club books is on the "To do while feeding" list.  : )
