Head still above water...

My head is not just above water, I'm treading water these days! I feel like I am really getting into a rhythm and it feels great. Don't get me wrong, I still have days that I barely get off the couch (and when I do it's to the nursery and back to the couch), brush my hair, or shower. I mean, I've watched more daytime TV, Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune over the past 6 weeks than I have in my entire life- no lie! (I love Ellen DeGeneres!) But for the most part, I 'm getting stuff done. I'm cleaning here and there, and cooking good meals ("good" by my standards by the way) for my hubby, and most importantly, bonding with my new little man. All in all, we're doing great. Here are some pics of when Grandma and Grandpa Franken and auntie Court were in town. We miss them all so much! Come back!

a progression...

When a guy gets hungry, he gets hungry...

...at first there are a few minor clues that say "feed me", but when mom just keeps taking pictures you got to be a little more obvious...


Step 1: start making motions toward mouth


Step 2: same thing, but getting a little pissed...


Step 3: If the mouth motions don't work, move on to entire face...(he's going to give me 3 more minutes...)


Step 4: If you're confused about where the milk goes, he'll show you!


Step 5: You asked for it, here is comes...


Step 6: You've left me no other options than to scream for it!



The last and final step: Completely famished....the pleading look


And we're happy again. Lucky for Luca (and my sanity) we rarely make it to step 2...

More Luca...

Luca was so patient, putting up with Mom's picture taking and all...
