sleeping

Lately, Graham has been giving us a 5 hour stretch of sleep at night, or two 4 hour stretches...you get the idea.
Last night, he slept through the night!! He slept from 8:30 PM-7 AM!! Brett and I woke up at 6 am, he turns to me and asks if I did the early feed without him? I say no, he didn't wake up! We then jumped out of bed to go check on him and sure enough, he was there, sleeping! We could not believe it, but then I felt how rock solid my boobs were, so I could believe it! I think this was a 1-time deal, but still, it was great!
This morning I went to another support group for moms who breastfeed and I met some really great moms in the Glenside area. It is so empowering to go to these meetings, the babies are adorable and the moms are great! Besides the rain, it has been a really great day!

because I can't resist

little hand

Here is the mold we made of Graham's hand. He is 7.5 weeks old! He didn't really like it, but we got the mold made. All is good and we told him we were very thankful that he let us use his hand!

new photos

hair

Can you see the red hair? Graham doesn't' have a lot of it in the front, but he has it on top and in the back. If you can see his little fingers, it looks like he is embarrassed to be having this photo taken. The hair he has is super long and fun (like and inch and a half), and sorta creates a mohawk on the top. I think it gives him an edge.

Brett & Graham

How perfect are Graham and Brett? They are amazing, and Brett is so great with Graham. Graham is so lucky to have Brett for a dad! I heart my boys!

1st mother's day

Today was my first mother's day, and I had a great day! I got a really nice hour of sleep this morning followed by a delicious breakfast at our favorite Glenside eatery, The Glenside Diner. Then we went to Barnes & Noble were I had a mini book shopping spree (!) and then to buy a new camera! We ended up getting it cheaper at Sam's Club, and Best Buy didn't have it in stock. We came home and got Graham fed (he went almost 6 hours with no food!) and relaxed the rest of the day. We skyped with both sets of mom's and randomly videotaped Graham "turding". Brett got me a cookie cake (love them!) and we took some photos and opened cards. I got some really nice cards, flowers and text messages all day, so thanks everyone! We had tacos for dinner and we are settling in for a super fun evening with bath times for all (not together) and celebrity apprentice. What more could a mom ask for? Happy Mother's Day! Isn't my cookie cake the best! It tastes like heaven in a circle shape!
