Time seems to fly by as you get older. We blink and Dexter is now a month old. Parenting has both it's ups and downs, but definately more ups. I've been able to catch a fleeting glimpse of some intentional smiles from Dexter recently. They're so fleeting however that you wonder if you actually saw them. He is holding up his head very well and is not as scared to roll from his stomach to his back.
Staying at home and not working for this short period of time has been absolutely wonderful. Tummy time on the floor beats working any day. Dex and I have been trying to get out a few times a week, even if it's going through the drive through. The trips to the store have been the most interesting. If the car seat doesn't quite latch onto the cart then you have to get two carts. Even though you have two eyes that look in the same direction, you somehow have to keep one eye on the boy, and the other on the task at hand (the eyes in the back of my head are still developing).
Dexter and I have also had the opportunity to visit with friends and recently went to a family reunion for James' side of the family. What a great day we had... until the end. The little guy was absolutely exhausted (he slept all day so I don't completely understand why he was so tuckered out). I can definately say his lungs are fully developed and working great!
Our family is looking forward to going camping in September (with the Ballast side) and again in October (with this Shinabery side). I've been slowly going over what we'll need for the trips and am absolutely astounded at the amount of stuff we'll have to tote with us now. I continue to remind myself that if we forget something there are plenty of stores that carry almost everything.
I'll get some pictures up soon.
