Are we still alive?

Well, life since Jameson's 6 week birthday has just been life.  I have been horrible about blogging, but I'm starting again.  Since I come up with these great blogs in my head that never get written, I'm going to copy some friends.  We are doing the "30 Days of Me" series.  So, check back tomorrow, and get Day 1. 


If you have not heard of this yet, here are the rules. Each day, for 30 days, you enter a short blog about yourself. Each day has a specific title you follow, so not to worry about having to think of 30 different things to talk about! Basiclly this is just a way to learn a little more about your friends and spend some time focusing on yourself for a month.


Here are the 30 titles:

Day 1- A recent pic of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself
Day 2- Meaning behind your blog name
Day 3- A pic of you and your friends
Day 4- A habit you wish you didnt have
Day 5- A pic of a place you have been to
Day 6- Favorite superhero and why
Day 7- Picture of something or someone who has had the biggest impact on you

6 weeks

Whew, so much has happened in the last 6 weeks.  Here's a quick recap:

-Jameson's first week of life was spent running around to one Army appt. after another.  The Army doesn't understand stay home, and enjoy your baby.
-Brian had 3 weeks off work for paternity leave.
-Grandparents left when Jameson was 1 week old.
- We spent the first 3 weeks of Jameson's life just hanging out, and getting used to being a family of 4.
-Jameson grew and grew during his first 2 weeks of life & was 7 lbs 13 oz and 21 in. at his 2 week check up.
-When Jameson was 3 weeks, our good friend's came to visit.  We enjoyed having Maggie, Isaac, & Ryann here, but wished Nate could have joined them.

















-Kennedy started Kindergarten on July 14th
-Our friends left July 19th
-July 20th was my first day at home alone with Jameson.  This is also the day he started intentionally smiling at me. 
-July 23rd, Jameson turns 6 weeks.

Kennedy tidbits...
*She is doing really well in kindergarten, but hates getting up early.
* She is growing up so quickly.  In the past 6 months, she has gone from pre-schooler to kid. 
*Her favorite show is Phineas & Ferb; she watches it with Brian. 
*She is totally cool with her new Sketchers Twinkle Toe shoes.  They are bling! 
*Her favorite toys are Zhu Zhu pets and build-a-bears
*Her favorite song is "I Gotta Feeling" by the Black Eyed Peas
*She has already made a new school friend.

Jameson....
*is growing too quickly.  We think he's about 9lbs now.
*has decided he doesn't like to sleep in his bed for naps, and will only sleep in his swing, stroller, or car seat.
*has mastered the eat/play/sleep schedule during the day.  He seems to understand bedtime since he sleeps in his bed at night without a fuss.  Well, occasionally he decides I should hold him for a period of time while he sleeps.
*is really smiling and laughed at me today.
*still wants to nurse twice in the middle of the night.  I really wish we could drop one of the feedings since I'm oh so tired.
*had his first trip to the beach at 5 weeks.

On the horizon is a trip to Myrtle Beach in August & then a Virginia/D.C. trip in Sept.
