Andy at 1 week

I'm a bit late posting, but these were taken on Saturday. Kate was born on a Monday, and I did Monday pictures with her, so I guess Andy will have Saturday pictures.




Andy is now the cordless model and had his first bath at home last night.

He's sleeping four-hour stretches at night. Monday night, this was unfortunately followed by four hours of not sleeping, but we did a little better last night. We must get this boy's days and nights straightened out. I've been trying to do that "sleep when the baby sleeps" thing and get some good afternoon naps. It helps.

Kate has been acting out a little, so we've been trying to give her lots of attention. I think she's warming up to the idea. She does like to snuggle Andy, and helps me out by getting a new diaper when I need one. Doug's mom got here Monday evening, so Kate should have enough people around to keep her well-attended.

I have to say I am so glad to have a washer and dryer. When Kate was born we were living in a one-bedroom apartment where we had to haul our clothes downstairs to the complex's laundry room. That was difficult, with a new baby. I feel like we've got it pretty easy now!
