1 month

Here is the little dude at 1 month. He is really is a big little dude, but we love him any size.

He is now 10 lbs 5.5 oz and 22.5 inches. My oh my is he growing. He is also getting "better" about sleeping at night. I get at least one 3-4 hour block of sleep before he starts waking every two hours again. His naps almost always happen on me or grandma Coop. He is a snugly little boy.

Lucy has decided to be very finicky about naps. It is a little sad...

Jimmy is off to take the bar tomorrow and Wednesday. Send loads of prayers in his direction.

Happy wedding week to Anne and Tod!

3 weeks

Here we are....3 weeks after the birth of Mr. Sam. It has been fast and slow all at once. Sam eats A LOT which means that I haven't been getting a lot of sleep. He has started sleeping for one 3-4 hour stretch, which does give me a little bit of sleep. The rest of the night he wakes up every 2 hours. Needless to say I am a little sleepy in the morning. That being said, it is WONDERFUL to have people to take Sam when Lucy is taking a nap. I try to get a little sleep then.

Other than his sleeping habits Sam is a pretty awesome little boy. He loves to snuggle right up on your chest and he is starting to enjoy being awake. It is quite amazing to see how much they change in such a small period of time.

Lucy is a champ of a sister. She loves Sam. Too bad she has resumed with another cold. It is sad to tell her she can't give Sam all the love she wants. Her favorite thing to do is to give him kisses. She is also quite the entertainer these days. She sings and dances all the time. Here are a few videos of her latest solos. It is quite impressive.

Jimmy is a week and half from taking the bar. He is nervous but so ready to take the test so he can be done with it. Please send as many prayers as you can in his direction.

And here are some pictures, because no post is good without a few pictures.

Sam

 We are surviving over here. Sam is the cutest, along with his sister. Lucy is being a great big sister, although you can tell she is adjusting. Though one way she is adjusting is by taking really good naps. I like that. Sam eats like a champ. He is back to his birth weight. I am getting some sleep, though Sam likes his food so he is waking quite frequently. It is to be expected, he is not quite a week old.

Here are just a few pictures of the new little munchkin. And one of Lucy because she is such a cute little trooper.
