24

Each day's 24 hours go by so slowly...and so quickly! I never know what to expect out of this boy and this whole motherhood thing. Edgar is starting to have more wakeful periods--times when he is neither eating, sleeping, or screaming. Those are fun times--he looks around at the world with his big eyes, head turning to track an interesting color or shape.

He is starting to reach out and punch the couple of baby toys we have. It's super cute. Also, he LOVES his crib--especially the area where we set him to change his diaper. He loves to look at his laughing lion and the brown and white stripes on the crib bumper. He will often sit and enjoy this for 15 or 20 minutes at I time while I hurry and get dressed and eat something.

It's getting easier to run on so little sleep. It's still tough--we are all sick and could really use more rest--but we make do. We've also started renting the TV show 24. It gets us through the midnight feedings and gives me something to look forward to! I'm totally addicted.

Edgar will be 3 weeks on Monday. We're going to try to have a more active week next week and get out of the house to do some visiting. I did manage to get out of the house for a few hours today to do a little shopping (thank you Alex!)--but otherwise I haven't been out much.

Uh oh. Is that the boy waking up? I was hoping that singing to him for 30 minutes straight until he fell asleep would buy me a little more time than that. Oh well. Good thing he's cute.
