8 Weeks

My little creature is awesome.  I could just stare at him all day.  Even the look on his face when he poops is adorable.  But let me tell you... motherhood ain't no walk in the park.  Well sometimes it is, if you're actually taking your child for a walk in the park. It's exhausting but I wouldn't trade it for anything.  The only thing that could make it better is sleep. Seriously. As cute as this little nug is, he DOES NOT SLEEP. With the exception of the Thanksgiving miracle when he slept for 9 hours one night, lately he's been sleeping for 4-5 hours at night. He wakes up, eats, then falls back to sleep. And I think phew, he's sleeping, back to bed I go. So I get all snuggled in my bed aaaaaaaaaand 20 minutes later... WAAAAHHHHH.   He's a spoiled boy.  I love holding him and cuddling him, and so does everybody else. So when you lay him in his crib he freaks out because he's all like woah, I fell asleep in your arms and now where am I? Come back! Wahhhh. So my goal this month is to give him some tough love so he can sleep.  And if he sleeps, I sleep. If he sleeps, he's happier. If I sleep, I'm happier. So ipsofacto we'll all be happier. (Not sure if that's the proper use of "ipsofacto" but it made me sound smart).  Little AJ give his mom, grandpa and grammie a run for their money some nights. 

Here are some new things I've learned about motherhood this month:

1) You'll sleep when you're dead, deal with it
2) You'll get better at changing diapers (I haven't been peed or pooped on this month)
3) Plan on being an hour late for everything you do.  For whatever reason it takes 12 years to pack up a baby, and just when you think you're out the door, he'll be hungry
4) People are baby hogs
5) I have no clue how mothers go back to work after only 6 weeks.  There's no way I'm even close to ready to leave Austin at a daycare. I hate leaving him with my mom for a few hours

Here are some adorable pics of AJ, courtesy of my fabulous old roomie, Nikki :)
