Six Weeks Old Today!

Well it has officially been six weeks since my little man came into this world. I can't believe how fast the time is going now that he is here... officially I have two weeks till my return to work date. I am a little excited about going back to work, but I'm extremely sad at the same time. I will be happy to get some adult time where I'm interacting with other adults, but I really don't want to leave my little man...

In anticipation of going back to work, AJ and I went car shopping and got a new car, we bought a 2007 Chevy Impala, I really didn't want to have to go to a car, since I prefer an SUV, but since I will have to be driving Sam out to Falcon twice a week for a little while, the gas in the Yukon just wasn't going to work. I would have ended up with 2x the gas bill!! So this Impala is actually pretty sweet, I love it! It's a bigger car so it's very comfortable and the trunk is roomy enough for us to get groceries in it. Plus our payments went down a little bit. All in all it was a great deal, a newer car with a lot less miles on it and better gas mileage.

Sam has been thriving and he's doing so great, unfortunately still not sleeping through the night technically, though he does have some good nights. So I think we are getting there, slowly but surely. He's also starting to look at his hands and cooing a lot more now, I love it when he talks to me! I also have been getting lots and lots of smiles so I'm hoping that he'll start to smile at everyone else soon too. His head control is also really awesome and he can hold his own head up for at least 30 seconds but probably more. He's just doing soo good! I can't wait till his well baby check up to see how much he's grown!

Other than that, not much going on, Fall is in the air, though the temperatures aren't showing it, I can just feel it though, I'm excited because I have a ton of cute clothes for Sam to wear, but he's so hot blooded, that I don't want to put him in them until the weather cools down a little bit. Fall is my favorite time of year and this year will be a whole new experience for me since I have a little one. I'm sooo excited, this year really marks the year of big changes for us, and every year from now on is going to be more and more fun. I get to take Sam apple picking and pumpkin picking and dress him up for Halloween, and who knows, he may even be able to eat a little bit of Thanksgiving dinner if he is allowed to eat other types of food at that point, and by Christmas he's going to be at the age where he'll be fascinated by the Christmas lights and be able to play with toys a little more... ohh this year is going to be so fun!
