House work and other outings.

The BabyBjorn at work.

Today is laid back. I thought this would be a great time to use the BabyBjorn around the house. Simon loved it so much he took a nap the whole time I was working around the house.

Baby Yoga?

Yes we went to baby yoga. He worked on some stretches and movements to help promote growth and brain development. Does it work? I don't know, but the touch and interaction has shown to help develop a bond between babies and parents. Simon is sporting his tux, what a cutie! Amber isn't too bad ether. I am sooooooo lucky!

And the "Little" man of the hour is ... Simon!

Simon slept from 9:00 pm to 2:00 am then he was fed then back to sleep from 2:30 am to 6:00 am. That is eight and a half hours of sleep for Mom and Dad. Yesssssss!

What a great day!

Amber, Simon, and I went for a stroll on the Green Ways trails over by the Japanese garden. Simon did great even with the rough terrain we were on (a little off-roading). Amber got in a mile and a half of walking, then we were off to Tasia for some great Asian eating. We finished the outing with a trip to the store to buy some groceries. I would love to say we spent the rest of the day outside, but the truth is we took a long nap.

Things that make you go hummmm.

We waited at Simon's first Doctors appointment so he could be weighed and measured. I thought this caught the feeling we all have when we arrive at the doctors on time just to wate for afew hours because they are running late.
Simon has gained weight and is now 7 lbs. He is very healthy and strong.

Beautiful boy.

Every day Simon changes. His eyes are open more, he eats more, poops more, and smiles sometimes. I am a very proud Dad, and who would not be with such a sweet boy.

Gailey's? Eatting out? Yessssss!

YES, we are venturing out for the first time. Amber and I have fed, changed, burped, and swaddled little Simon. What does this all mean? Three hours max before the next feed and a hour before the next full diaper. Amber and I have vowed to keep "us" alive and this is the first step. Those who know us, know we love to go out and eat. I will update this post with pictures of our outing and how it all goes. Keep your fingers crossed for us. We will not need it though because Simon is the best baby ever, and training to be a cage fighter (Napoleon Dynamite).

Update: Simon was great! He did not even fuss until we got home for the feeding. I have heard spontaneity in marriage is lost when you have a baby. I concur the spontaneity is stronger because you can not plan anything. If the time is good go for it. Simon wears the diapers in this family.
