Hard to believe we've already been home for a whole week. Boston is such a good little baby. I had my doubts the first few hours of his life when all he did was scream at the top of his lungs. He spends most of the day sleeping and snuggling. He also has a man's appetite -- almost like clock work every two hours he is ready to eat, actually it's more like he demands to eat! When he's hungry he's hungry. I enjoy those precious times during the day when he's awake and alert... not so precious when it's at 3 AM (which is usually every night-hopefully he'll get his days and nights figured out soon).I've already been initiated into the "Mother of a boy" club! It's quite the accomplishment to change his diaper and neither of us needing a change of clothes afterwards. It just catches you by surprise every time!
Reese has done really well with the new addition. She loves to help mom by fetching diapers, and making sure brother's bottle and binkie are within arms reach. She has been a little wilder than usual, no doubt to snag a little extra attention, but overall she's handling the change pretty well. She loves to kiss little brother (who she calls buddy) wave little toys in front of his face and tickle him.
My mom was here the last few days which was a wonderful blessing. It was nice to have an extra set of hands. Especially when we decided to take a little shopping trip to Idaho Falls to wander around the mall and pick up some groceries. Oh my is all I can say. I don't know when I'll dare venture a shopping trip by myself. Reese has a problem with taking off running at any chance her feet hit the ground and what they heck are you supposed to do when you have a baby in tow? She is so FAST! It actually makes me really nervous - especially in parking lots and large stores. So I'll be holding off on solo trips until that is under more control. Thanks mom for doing all the chasing!
So that pretty much sums up the excitement of our first week. My to do list for the remainder of the week includes taking some more pictures of him and getting them posted. I already feel like a bad mom for not being as camera happy this time around -- so I need to get on that.

He's so cute! I'm glad things are going well.
Oh man :)Those little guys do catch us by surprise when were changing diapers don't they!!! I'm glad your mom could come help you! What would we do without them? I've been wanting to call but I know it can get a little crazy and you are probably still tired so I thought I'd give you some time to get adjusted first. I definately don't take as many pictures with Ben either. It's so funny the things you do different with the second one. You love them just as much as the first but you just don't worry as much :) Well I love you and just thought I'd say hello!
oh look at him!! He already looks older!!
