Well after "Snowpocolypse" it's now 80 degrees and we're itching to get the A/C hooked up. We've had fun the past few days with our little guy. Saturday we went for a walk to the library with the whole family. Corban was pumped!
I love our little family! So fun!!
Yesterday Corban turned 7 weeks old and today he had his first playdate. We had some friends over for brunch. Kay brought Owen, the little boy that was born just five hours after Corban. Owen is a big guy compared to C. He is quite the handsome baby with his dimples. Nora brought her 5 week old girl, Anais. She is light as a feather compared to Corban, but she has him beat in length. We missed Shea today, but poor Max has bronchitis. The mommies had a big time talking, sharing experiences, and laughing. Here is a video of our rowdy babies!
Corban was all smiles after the party
Here are a couple of pictures from yesterday:
Owen get off me!!

Our happy little family
And to end this blog, my favorite sleepy time photo this week:
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!
