4 weeks old!!!

Hello Readers!





Happy 4 weeks Brooks!!!
It feels like forever ago and that you have always been a part of our lives, and at the same time it feels like just yesterday- where have 4 weeks gone?

We are doing well- still not sleeping more than 3 hour chunks at a time (we get a lucky 4 hr one once in a while). The good thing is that the first wakeup of the night (usually between midnight and 1:30) Brooks seems to realize it is all business, I am only up for about 30 minutes. Quick change, feed, and hes back asleep. It is the second wakeup that can be rough (between 3-5am). He seems to be much more 'awake' and in lets just hang out mode, I am up anywhere from an hour to 2 hours for this one. Eric and I are trying to learn the cues about Brooks and what he needs/what makes him happy. He is getting more and more aware, and more and more baby rolls (love them!)

Eric bought this outfit the day after Brooks was born- it was way too big then, but our little man is in it now. He looks great in Daddy's outfit :) I love that Eric went out and bought him something- of course it is sports related- team Puppies!







And- a couple videos. I realize videos at this age are not the most exciting- but a good friend suggested we take some not just for us, but for Brooks. She said her little ones love seeing themselves at a young age.

First- the hiccups! (please ignore my mommy voice)





2nd- This kid does this with his fists all the time in his sleep. The weirdest part to me is how it is all slow motion- like he is hypnotized or something :)
