7 weeks

7 weeks today, and so much progress in this little boy's life! smiling every day now. cooing and babbling. tolerating the swing and the bouncy seat for 5 whole minutes at a time! sleeping away from our bodies (but still in our bed). getting more milk from mommy. sleeping more soundly at night. but despite this it was still a fairly fussy day - after 5 days of no poop, he finally cleared out his system before bedtime tonight. hooray.

just sent out a big group email with a photo album of sasha's first six weeks. only a week late, but who's counting? so many little projects. also have about 20 thank-you notes to write. why does it take me so fracking long to do these simple things? i always have the best intentions.

i am realizing that the last couple months really shell-shocked me. i feel like i was on another planet, and am slowly coming back into orbit. wish things weren't so hard for me, that i could take these changes and adjustments in stride. but i guess i am a little sensitive to any bump in the road... kind of like a certain baby i know. he may look like his dad, but he's got his mom's personality through and through...
