Week 2 Update

Time continues to fly and at the same time, we feel like we've known Sam for much longer than two short weeks. He continues to be a very easy baby, and we are so grateful for that. At this point, we can usually beat him to the punch when he's hungry, wet, poopy or needs to burp, so the crying is kept at a minimum.

This last week was not nearly as eventful as Week 1, but here are some pictures and highlights:

We had our first family outing in the car. Nothing too exciting- we went to the bank and BabiesRus- but it was still nerve-wracking for Jesse and me because we didn't know how well it would go. We timed it between feedings, so Sam was a champion and slept through the whole thing.

Sam's car seat is currently in our VW Bug-- which you can imagine is a very tight fit and won't hold much of Sam's gear if we decide to travel anywhere. Yesterday we bought a pre-owned Honda Pilot. It will be a great vehicle with plenty of room for several years to come.

We had some fun visitors this past week. One of my best friends Shea and her family stopped by on Thursday night. It was great to see her, her mom and siblings! Sam practiced being held by many people, and he did a great job.

This past weekend Grandpa T and Connie came to visit with their dog Sunny. It was a full house with the two cats, a dog, a baby and four adults! We had a nice visit.

Other than that, we have spent most of our time around the house, taking the best care we can of our little boy.
