5 Weeks Old!

Hi Everyone!

I know it's been a long time since we put in an entry - I feel like I haven't had a moment to myself (as all new mothers can attest to). Caspian is growing in leaps and bounds and I have to admit I am sad that the time is going by so fast. His first month just flew by and it already feels like he is a different baby. He has gained 3 pounds and close to 2 inches in length - he's getting huge! And he is so much more aware and responsive. He is smiling at us regularly now, and following us with his eyes and head as we move about the room. He is also making more cute coos and other baby noises. He is still an easy baby to take care of, but he definitely lets us know if he is hungry "I want food now!". He can also get a little fussy if he is tired and doesn't fall asleep right away (a swaddling and soother quickly takes care of that though).

We had a wonderful first Christmas with our baby boy, visiting with all the grandparents and other family. Make sure to revisit our flickr website to see a whole bunch of new photos since our last entry. There are some really cute ones on there (from 1 week old to 5 weeks old).

Eric is back to work now and hates not being around Caspian all the time. And I'm having to learn how to juggle everything at home without his constant help. But things are going great and we couldn't ask for a better life than this. It's true that the best things in life are free (if you call 9 months of pregnancy "free") ;).

Happy New Year Everyone!!! And please feel free to come and visit the munchkin any time!

Camille and Eric
