It's hard to believe little Nolan is already 5 weeks old. It seems like time is really flying!
This week, we spent a lot of time changing clothes (his and ours) because Nolan has decided he really likes to spit up...in large quantities. Burp cloths simply cannot contain his output! You'll note the huge wet spot on the bed in the first picture...yes, that's spitup and I immediately stripped off his clothes right before the pic and the sheets right after. It's weird, though, because one day he'll hardly spit up at all and then the next day he does each and every time we feed him.
Other activities this week...I had all of my staff over to the house Saturday for a post holiday family get-together. We had lots of good food and played a fun game that uses the DVD player to display movie quotes, clips, stills, etc. Major competition, I tell you! We had a good time and Nolan got passed around from person to person. The bad part was that Bailey developed a pretty nasty cold on Friday so we made the decision to keep her away from the guests. She was disappointed, but forgot about the party as soon as she went to grandma's house for the evening. I hope Jeanne and Phil don't get sick! But, I would rather pass sickness within the family rather than give it to one of my co-workers kids.
Sunday was our scheduled family portrait. I had initially wanted to take a picture before Christmas, but it just didn't work out with Nolan's arrival and the fact that getting an appointment at that time was virtually impossible. So, we gave our parents an IOU picture gift and set the appointment for Jan. 6th. As I mentioned, Bailey had the cold, so we debated about going. Then, just getting everyone ready was awful. I simply can't imagine being a single mom as it honestly took Jason and me 3 1/2 hours to get ourselves ready, give both the kids a bath, feed Nolan twice, and get everyone in the car. I mourn the time when I hopped in the shower an hour before having to leave to go somewhere. Yeah....that ship has sailed.
Anyway, then we got there and Nolan wouldn't wake up and Bailey pulled her, "I don't want to have anything to do with this and would rather play with the kids in the waiting room" act. So, it was stressful all the way around. We did manage to get some decent pictures, though, which goes to show how talented photographers are to get that one smile out of a thousand frowns. For your enjoyment.....
By the way, these are not cropped or anything...just the raw film they saved for us on a disk.
