Chubby Cheeks

About a month before this little guy was born (by the way, he is now officially James) we had our last ultrasound that showed undeniably super chubby cheeks. I tried to take it easy with the milkshakes after that, but I couldn't help it . . . sorry little James, they suit you though and now I wouldn't change them for anything!

Here he is coming home from the hospital yesterday (I'm too tired to rotate the picture). He slept the entire way home.

I just want to kiss those cheeks all the time!


This is from this morning. He has periods every day where he is really alert and wide-eyed and just wants to stare at everything in the room.


This is also from this morning. Nap time in the car seat. It's the only way I've been able to get any sleep! He loves to have his hands up by his face.

That is it for now. I'm going to take a nap. I'm sorry to every mother out there who I thought was being a wuss by not getting as much sleep as usual. I got maybe 2 hours last night. He's worth it though.
