My little king is now 3 weeks old. Time is flying by and each day he gets bigger and bigger. One of Andrew’s friends recently said that he didn’t miss the days of his son being a newborn. Maybe it’s different for everyone, but I feel like I miss each day as it goes by because he is getting bigger. It’s so much fun to watch him change each day. My little nuni monster has quite the personality. He has a favorite toy (his swing), a favorite room in our house (the master bathroom) and his favorite thing to do is EAT! Who doesn’t love to eat, we all do! He nurses probably every 2 hours, sometimes he even roots every hour and screams until he gets his way and gets some Nuni! If you are wondering why the master bathroom is his favorite room I can’t really tell you why. Every day when I go in to get ready I bring him with me and put him on his blanket on the ground and he happily lays there cooing and looking around at everything. If I try to put him on the ground in other rooms he flips out and whats to be held. I’m not sure why he loves the bathroom, but he does. Night time is still me waking up every 2 hours to change and feed him. He has no problem letting me know he wants me awake. But he’s still the cutest thing to wake up to even when I’m exhausted and living off of a few hours of sleep each night. Last weekend we got the chance to finally take some professional newborn pictures. I was so afraid he would flip out and scream the whole time, especially considering that he hates to be naked. But he was great! He was wide awake taking it all in and giving some great poses. He was a little angel, which I couldn’t have been happier about since we were paying for the photographers time.

Every day he makes new sounds and gives new faces. His little looks of anger, happiness, and curiousity are just adorable! The funniest thing about him is his cry. When he gets to the point of wanting food and wanting it NOW he gives out this funny scream that sounds like a hyena. Any time he gives his hyena cry I just have to laugh because its such a hilarious sound. The only other funny thing that he likes to do is NOT take a pacifier. When my mom was staying with us she would give him a pacifier to calm him down and he would gladly take it. When she left I figured I’d give it a try and use a pacifier if I needed to. There was only one problem. Why should he take a plastic pacifier when he knows he can get Nuni from the person trying to give him a plastic pacifier. Any time I’d try to give him the pacifier he’d lift up one eye brow and shake his head not wanting to take it. I’d get it in his mouth and he’d open his mouth up really wide and start crying. If he did take it within a second he’d spit it right out. If I tried to hold it in his mouth he’d get really angry and just start screaming. HE’S JUST TOO SMART! I tried over and over and he still won’t take a pacifier from me because he’d rather nurse. Silly little boy! So, the bad thing is this leads to sore nipples, but the good thing is this leads to more nursing and losing weight faster. I still have plenty of weight I want to drop. I can’t wait for the go ahead to work again from the OB. I even had my mom drive all the way from Cali to Colorado so I could have my treadmill. I need to lose my rolls while Brendon needs to gain some! I’m still loving every moment of being a mommy. It’s the best feeling in the whole world. I don’t live day to day anymore, I live for the baby kisses, coos, and smiles. Life couldn’t be any more perfect then having the two men I love in my life, Andrew and Brendon.
