Okay, this wasn't his first bath--we've given him sponge baths and baths in the newborn hammock attachment to his baby bath, but Edgar is now taking baths in the whole baby bathtub. He loves it! He likes to kick his feet in the water. He loves it when I wash his hair and face--he tries to eat the washcloth. Yesterday he was having a tough evening and was getting worked up to a screaming fit when I dipped his feet in the bath. He calmed right down and enjoyed his bathtime. Also, he is super cute when his hair is wet (= 
Another first...for our
7 year anniversary (which I COMPLETELY FORGOT--Alex said it was the best present I could have given him: ammo for years to come...) Alex got us a 3 night stay in Yachats (a town on the Oregon coast). I was super nervous about taking a 6 week old to a hotel (wouldn't we drive the neighbors crazy? how would we take this screaming baby out anywhere?? could he handle the 3 hour drive?). But, it turned out to be a fantastic gift. We were forced out of our comfort zone and had to learn to take Edgar out places. We went out to eat, went to the store, walk through the art fair, etc. Yes, he did scream--but we figured out how to deal with it. His daddy took him on many midnight walks on the beach--it calmed him to get outside. We learned that if he is having a tough time falling asleep, all we need to do is make exaggerated sleeping/snoring noises. It's so funny--he stops crying...looks around...listens...and decides it must be time for him to sleep too.
Here he is, totally zonked out on the bed. Such a cutie! He often falls asleep with his fingers in his hair.

Oh my gosh he is so cute! Grandma and Grandpa Lester can't wait to snuggle this adorable cutest of all cutest babies!
I can not believe how cute he looks in these pictures, Jen and Alex!!!!! I also can not believe he's, what, 6 weeks all ready? Amazing!
Hope the day is going well today (work day)!!!
Jen, I am so sad that we cannot come up for the blessing. Dan and Janelle, Bailee, and Afton arrive at the same time. He is a doll!
Adam and I are so excited to meet baby! 2 more days!!!
P.S. I think you've had a pretty important reason to forget your anniversary...but congrats on that too! :)
