The baby and I just got back from a short vacation to visit my family. The little guy is a traveling champ! We only had to stop once both times for a diaper change and a feeding. I am so grateful that there were no screaming fits because I'm not sure how I would have done with those! He continues to be the best little baby. He got spoiled by his grandparents, Aunts, Uncles and all the cousins. It's so fun to watch the kids interact with the baby. While we were gone we missed the daddy, but so grateful for the time around other people. I was starting to go a little stir crazy at home. It looks like I may be heading back to the land of the working in a week as long as I get the all clear from my doctor. I don't want to go back to work, but I am trying to save some of my days for emergencies or mental health days. :) We'll head back to my parents next weekend to pick up my mom who will be watching the baby when I head back to work.

Earlier this evening I weighed the little guy and he is over 9 lbs now. He is growing way too quickly! He is 5 weeks as of today. It's been the best 5 weeks of our lives!

The little native is getting restless so I better go check on him. Here are a couple of recent pics. Enjoy!
