Is it really 3am?!?!

I've lost all sense of "normal" hours! Here it is, 3am, and I feel like it's maybe 9p at best. We're still on a pretty steady 3-4 hour feeding schedule with Christopher, but he's going for longer stretches of 5-6 hours at night sometimes. (I'm always excited when we get a good run in there!)
David went back to work this week, so there has been some adjusting going on. We've got a system going now where I (obviously) take care of Goo during the day, then David takes over when he gets home and I have the evenings to move around freely, make dinner, wrap up things I had planned to do during the day, etc. He stays up until after the midnight-ish bottle while I go to bed to get a head-start on my sleeps, and then lays him down after he's done eating. Then it's my turn again--I take care of the graveyard shift and see it on through until around 6p.

Christopher is still absolutely wonderful. I swear I just can't get enough of that little boy! He is definitely putting on weight and filling out very nicely and is having longer wakeful periods now, which I love! He looks so different when his eyes are open than when he's sleeping. He has these big beautiful gray-blue eyes...they remind me of stormy seas. (insert dreamy sigh) I really am smitten!

We had our first big trip to Norman last week and it went very well. We went to town Thursday morning and came home pretty late on Sunday--we probably got home around 10:30 that night. It was a lot longer trip than I had anticipated, but overall it went well. Christopher was quite the hit with everyone he met (shocker!). I was more than relieved to finally get home, though, I'm not gonna lie! Being away for extra days definitely made me appreciate being at home again.

Grandparent Weekend

Our first official weekend at home with Christopher was a Grandparents Weekend. My parents came down to visit Saturday afternoon; Sunday we welcomed David's parents, along with Michael and Jay (who happened to be camping in the area over the weekend as well). We had a wonderful time. Christopher really enjoyed the company and was on his best behavior, I am proud to report. ;)

Today we took Christopher to David's office to visit the guys up there and a couple of ladies from the court house came by to see the baby as well, then on the way home we stopped at the Blair police station and introduced Christopher to Joe the Blair Chief of Police...they'll be patrolling together soon, so I'm told. haha

Everyone has been very excited to meet him, and it's been a lot of fun showing him off! This week, I get to take him to MY office and let everyone at CLS meet him in person! I'm very excited for our first trip to Norman, but am a bit apprehensive at the same time. It's going to be interesting being away from home base for a couple of days on top of our already FUBAR schedule...but I am sure it will be perfectly wonderful.

Here are some pics from the weekend among other things...I'm told that I "HAVE" to post new pics with every blog as a part of standard Baby-Blog etiquette haha, so here we go! ;)

Christopher with my parents on Saturday

With Nani and Papaw on Sunday...
David gathered him up to go change his diaper, and he was sleeping with one hand down his pants...just like a man! That cracked me up!
Buddy snuggled up with Daddy and Christopher this evening for some quality "boy-time". It was really sweet.
