6 weeks!

For the past 6 weeks, everyone has been telling us the same thing: "It gets better after the first 6 weeks..."
Well??
I don't know how I would define better, but Shuler certainly has changed and continues to change every day!
Here are some pictures from the past 3 weeks:

This is how I prefer to sleep

Or like this...

Talking to my Lovie

Sleeping in my Boppy (lately I prefer my bouncy chair)

First Nap in my crib (this was really a fluke while I was doing laundry, but this past week he took a few naps in the crib for real...it wasn't without difficulty, but he's getting better about it)

Snuggling after Mommy's birthday dinner

Tummy Time!


This is my most recent picture 3.27

Daddy's Little Man


At his 1 month doctor's visit, Shuler was 9lbs 3oz and 21 1/4 inches long. He is now 22 inches and at least 10lbs. He has definitely grown way too fast! He loves going to work with Daddy; however, when he went with me to my 6 week check up, he screamed the entire time and the nurse had to hold him just so I could see the doctor.
Among our many adventures has been sleep - not sleep for us, which we accepted long ago we would not get, but sleep for him. Shuler fights sleep more than any baby I've been around. He gets mad when he's sleepy and thrashes and does anything he can not to fall asleep (definitely did not get this from us). At this moment I am listening to him "talk" to himself on the baby monitor, which is improvement from crying, but still isn't sleeeping. The adventure continues...
