What's Been Goin' On (Don't mind the typos, or grammatical errors-I'm slightly sleep deprived )

This weather really threw EP for a loop-apparentely the city is not equipt to handle sub zero temps...and really why should it be-the last time we had this sort of weather was in 1916! Live and learn I suppose. We had rolling blackouts for 3 days-I felt like a Colonial Woman changing Corban by candlelight! Then we had water shortages, and may next be voted world's smelliest city. We were encouraged not to bathe, run dishwashers, or washing machines, and to boil all water! Because of all this, all school districts were off for four days. I was stoked about that because it meant four more days tacked onto my maternity leave!! I've since found out that the district has applied for some sort of waiver which would relieve 2 of those days-which means I'll only have 2 more days of leave, but I'll take it!
Back to the storm, it busted peoples pipes, flooded their homes, and caused a lot of damage. Even today so many are still without water-sad. We were very fortunate and are even more aware of what we have to be grateful for.

Now, onto Corban!! He is growing like a weed. I used to say I couldn't tell whether or not he'd grown, but now I can tell. He is doing new things everyday. He is cooing more and has much more "awake" time than he did even 3 days ago. He even slept 4 straight hours after the superbowl the other night. He slept through the entire game, then slept 4 hours. Made my day!! (Hasn't happened again, but just knowing that's possible is exciting for me.) He tracks objects, has started bearing weight on his legs for short times, holding his head up a little bit, watches us, and even smiles!! Most of this during the last week. Today he is 6 weeks old, here is a video of him in his swing shortly after waking up today. Oh, and he is a "morning person" so far-just like his mommy and daddy! We spend the mornings nursing, singing nursery rhymes, nursing, listening to music, nursing again, chilling under the activity gym, reading booksand and oh, did I mention NURSING?!


Next is him smiling, talking, and kicking his legs. He is soooooo cute :o)


Now, onto lots of sleepy baby pics

He loves the Ergo carrier-he usually passes right out in it, and I get to do laundry, dishes, and cuddle all at the same time- Win, win! Love all my carriers, but this one and the Moby Wrap are my faves for now.




Napping on Daddy

He'll nap on us like this, but he is no longer spending the latter part of our nights sleeping on me-he has graduated to the staying in the bassinet.

And last but not least- a comparison. This idea has been borrowed (stolen) from Sara :o) Thanks friend!
