Week 7

This week was a nice, low-key week for August and me. For the first time in his short life, we had a fairly light agenda...No appointments were arranged, no visitors were scheduled, no big to-do's on our list. So we sat around and stared at each other when he wasn't napping or eating, and of course we took a lot of pictures :)
  By the time Friday rolled around we were ready to take advantage of the gorgeous weather, and partake in some socialization. So we enjoyed a nice lunch at Sweetish Hill with my old employer Alice, then we went to check the progress of our friend Cynthia's coffee shop, then August's 'Aunt Sarah' came to visit since Kevin and 'Uncle Josh' were camping for the evening.
   A few more milestones have been reached this week. August started smirking and smiling a lot more when prompted, but of course never for the camera. Also, all of the hair on the top of his head has disappeared leaving an even funnier, middle-aged man appearance when combined with his wrinkly forehead.

   Another big step this week was that we officially purchased a bigger sized diaper. Of course, that is being a bit wishful thinking on our part considering he has been fitting quite comfortably in the newborn swaddlers. I was just tired of having to buy a box a week since they don't make massive quantities in the miniature sizes. So when I was at one of the local, giant, wholesale clubs I said 'what the heck...we'll give these a try'. I purchased a huge box containing 252 size 1-2 diapers. With a little creative folding on our part, they fit him quite nicely :) Hopefully this week we will make the investment in the reusable diapers we have been discussing for several months, and weekly diaper purchases will be a thing of the past.

bye bye itty-bitty diapers

There it is!
