4 Weeks Old: GO COLTS!

My parents can't believe they have survived a whole month!
Go Colts! I was dozing in and out during the game.

Grandpa Lee was in town and helped Dad put together this cool swing!

-Well, Brooks is one month old! I can hardly believe it. It seems like forever ago that I was in the hospital delivering him. Things are starting to come together and we are learning more about how to raise a newborn each day. He is teaching us well:)
-Grandpa Lee was in town again from St. Louis. He enjoyed holding Brooks while he slept on his chest. He did a great job putting together the swing with Daddy. I have a feeling this swing will be my friend at times!
-Brooks slept in his room the whole week! He sometimes was successful with sleeping in his crib flat on his back...but I needed some sleep and resorted to putting him in his lamb seat inside of the crib at times. Hey....got to pick our battles right? I need to function and had to get my sleep somehow!
-I started pumping now that he is 4 weeks old. Just when I start to figure things out, I get thrown a curve ball. A whole new experience to learn about. However, it will be so great for Josh to feed him a bottle at night or for us to be able to have a "date" night while Grandma watches him.
-Finally, if you are interested you can go to our photographer's blog site to check out a few of Brooks's newborn pix. There are some cute ones and we can't wait to see them all. The website is: http://www.jessicarstrickland.com/blog/portrait/brooks/
