Sleep... who needs it!!

Obviously little Wes is not sleeping that great right now, as I am posting at 4 am! The only sleep he has really wanted tonight was right after he nursed for 30 minutes every hour (Leah is very tired and sore!). I finally was able to get him out for a while, by setting him on my chest, singing Twinkle Twinkle and Swing Low Sweet Chariot. I did try to put him down into the crib, but that only started a round of non stop full volume screams, so we have settled on a compromise of a sleeping Wes my chest while I check my email etc!

Wes did get to take his first expedition today, as we headed over to our family doctor to get him checked out. He looks to be really healthy, but does have a little touch of jaundice. The blood work came back, and the doc felt we wouldn't have to be very concerned about it if Wes continues to nurse and get good stuff from Leah. Hopefully this will be the case, as he is definitely eating a lot. Wes seems to like car rides, but isn't quite sure about this whole 5 point harness strapping him down!
Had a nice visit with Grandpa and Grandma Voelker Sunday night, and dinner for all was provided by Grandpa and Grandma Hall. Wes enjoyed laying in his Moses basket napping and entertaining the Grandpa's while we all enjoyed the Tamale Pie and Peach Crisp!

Just a few more quick pics for all of you!


PS... No one ever told us that a new born could produce such amazing odors! Not only do you get all the fun baby shampoos and milk smells, but occasionally you get these powerfully strong little toots that make Mommy and Daddy's eyes just water! Huh.. you learn something every day!
