8 weeks old

So my goal is to update this web page every week.  So far, I have missed a couple of weeks.  Sorry!  You would think that since all I have been doing is sitting home with a baby all day, I would have plenty of time.  For some reason, when a baby wants my attention, nothing else seems to matter.  🙂

Last week was a great week.  James’ sister, Nicole, came from Seattle to see her nephew.  We had a great time spending time with her.  We went and ate at La Hacienda again, and even though Alex didn’t sleep through the entire meal like he has been doing at restaurants, he was still pretty good.  We also hung out at Mimi’s house and our house, and all in all just had a good time spending time with family.

I can’t believe how big my son is getting.  He has grown out of his newborn size diapers, most of his newborn outfits are getting pretty tight, and his 0-3 month size outfits that were too big are now fitting nicely.  Before I know it, he’ll be walking and talking.

Speaking of progress, Alex rolled over today, twice!  He rolled from his tummy to his back, which is supposed to be the easiest roll, but I am still impressed.  Of course, when I tried to video Alex with his new skill, he decided that he was tired of rolling and all he wanted to do for the camera was scream.  I decided not to post that.  A video of my son screaming while all I do is tape him and say, “Roll over,” is not likely to highlight my good parenting skills.

A deadline is quickly approaching us: I go back to work next week.  It is a scary, scary thought to leave my son.  My only consolation is that Grandma and Mimi will be taking care of him.  Thank goodness!  If I had to turn him over to strangers, I don’t think I could.

Well, that is all for this week.  I added some pictures to our album as well, so check them out.

Happy March, everyone!
