4 Weeks Old

Today Lucius is 4 weeks old and boy have we been busy! My Mom left on the 29th, a few days after Emily and Eric arrived. They stayed during New Years and left a few days ago. We had a great time visiting and hanging out (aka nursing, diaper changes and naps!). I really miss having my Mom around. She was an amazing help and a great cook, but what I miss the most is just having her near. It's funny how my perspective has changed now that I am a mother. She always would tell me "just wait 'till you're a mom, then you'll know." And you think, yeah, I know Mom. But you really don't know. I apologized for all the turmoil I put her through as if it will lessen the blow that Lucius will lay on me. What goes around comes around? I hope not.

Anyways, we took Lucius out on New Years Eve to Sushi House for his very first outing. He did amazingly well and as it turns out, he loves wasabi! He also had his first bath. Auntie Em took pictures of that (and hopefully she'll send them to me!). My friend Liz stenciled some onesies for him and I finally put him in them to take a few pictures. They are awesome, however Lucius decided that today was not a good day for his close-up and thus ended the photo shoot. But I did manage to get a few good shots in.

I put all of these pictures in a slide show off to the right. There are a few Christmas pictures as well. Lucius is sleeping and I am going to join him! Hopefully I'll get an hour in before he wakes.
