Today you are 6 weeks old!
For the past 5 weeks you have been napping like a champ but today you decided
NAPS ARE FOR SUCKERS!
 |
| and you, my sweet little onion, are no sucker. This is your party face and you were in a partying mood......well for at least 1 hour today. The remainder of the day you spent eating large quantities of milk and crying. No Bueno! I guess you follow the motto "it's my party and I'll cry if I want to" |
 |
| I guess I'm exaggerating a bit when I say all you did was eat and cry..... you did take 1 short 45 min nap but insisted on being held {Thanks Mom!}. Luckily you don't mind snuggling with me when I've just gotten back from a run.... or that you have poor eye sight because I was looking rough. {who am I kidding? this is what I look like 99% of the time these days} |
 |
| I did manage to find 1 thing that made you pretty jazzed today, laying on your belly. I'm convinced you just wanted to show off your mad head lifting skills. Your dad and I were thoroughly impressed since you have such a heavy noggin. This may be a touchy subject, but I feel I should point out that you are losing your hair..... another indication that you truly are a Duvall. |
 |
| After a long day of celebrating and neck tricks you finally decided it was time to call it a day. What do you say we sleep in tomorrow? I love you little man ********************************** In all honesty today was hard and frustrating I cried when Jody got home.....it was that kind of day This is a tough job but tomorrow is a fresh start I count myself blessed for the opportunity to be a parent Even on the challenging days |
With every baby I had to remind myself constantly not to think about how I felt (or looked!) until they were at least three months old. At that point they sort of settle into a real routine and start to give you some thanks and response for all the hard work you're putting in now. Some days you have to wrap them in a sling and burst into tears when daddy gets home, and that's all good. Love to you!
ReplyDeleteI too, looked (and plan to look) like I've forgotten about showering for weeks on end. You said it, this job is hard. Real hard. BUT, even on the nights I cried along with Charlie for hours, I tried to remember that they will NEVER be this little again, cherish all that you can. You are such a good momma to Harrison. Love you bunches!
ReplyDeleteWhatever! I think you are doing great! We've skyped twice in a week and you have looked good and have been able to carry on a good conversation! I love you! I'm so thankful for Skype and blogs and Facebook to be able to keep up with y'all! Love!
