Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all of those Mama's out there!  Also happy second week with our sweet boy.  Today Eric is two weeks old!  Time does seem to be moving fairly quickly these days.

There were many important events that happened this week:

  • Eric's umbilical cord stump fell off (fortunately, when Christian was changing him)
  • First Mother's Day
  • Eric slept for 3 hours in a row (woop!)
  • Nursing has started to "click"
  • We had many visitors, who brought over great food and support
  • Eric had his first non-doctor outing over to MJ's and PawPaw's house...which included bringing a car load of stuff for just a short visit :)
  • We tried the Baby Bjorn
  • Eric had his newborn photo session
  • The white noise sound machine giraffe died...and was fixed by PawPaw and Uncle Kevin (thankfully!)
  • We tried the activity mat...worked for about 5 minutes.  We'll try again next week.  
This week Eric has been more alert and active; opening his eyes more and interacting with us.  We have even seen a few smiles.  I also thinks his looks are changing; of course, he is still adorable.

Here are some photos from the week:
Eric (and Mom) love this bouncy chair!
