Tonight i escaped. I intended to get out and actually write about your life. your 5 weeks of life. It did not exactly happen and presently, you are at my side on my bed, sound asleep.

You have been with us for 5 weeks. you are one vocal baby. you let everyone know that you are around and that your little lungs are in great working form. there is no denying my passionate and unending love for you; but there have been a couple of trying times my little son.

two days ago, i was able to dress you in the 0-3 month clothing. upon arriving home (at 6 pounds 14 ounces), daddy and aunt robin had to go out to target and buy you all new clothing because you did not fit into anything. You are now close to 11 pounds and fitting nicely into your new digs.

each night, around 8pm, you and I retreat down the hall to mommy's room and say good night to the rest of the world. you stay in my bed until morning. this is my favorite part of day and there are times when the day is bright, i say, "you just have until 8pm and it is you and sidney time"

you have yet to smile, but i am anticipating it being very soon.
Good night kisses
Mommy
