Weeks 3 and 4 - Liz and the Baby - Alone at last

With all of the visiting family gone, and Ben back to work, Liz finds herself settling into a daily routine with Lachlan. Shehas found that Lachlan enjoys long walks, hair salons, and the reception area for her Allergist. Lachlan has also settled on a formula (he is a picky but good eater), and is starting to develop a personality. Lastly, the Department of Defense stopped by this week to ask if they could use Lachlan for sleep deprivation interrogations at Guantanamo Bay. We considered it, but we're going to stick with him.....for now.

Thanks to all the visitors over the last few weeks! Check out the new pictures below, including Lachlan's first big trip to the Spruyt's!

Week 2 - Getting the Hang of This

Despite sporadic outbursts of panicked cry, and unpredictable sleep patterns, our first week as parents to Lock (nickname as determined by on-line poll) has been rather smooth. Lock made his first visit to the pediatrician (he is back at his birth weight, although he shrunk from 20.5 inches to 19.75), and has rested in a wide array of seating and sleeping devices. We believe his favorite for now is the bouncy chair (thanks Carol Boyle!), although this seems to be evolving. The dogs have take quite a shine to Lock - Sophie is constantly sniffing him to see if it really Lock or an impostor baby, and Leo stays true to his form by licking Lock every chance he gets.

We'll be posting pictures of week 2 under the link at below - sometimes the updates are daily, sometimes every other day. Look forward to posting next week. Enjoy the pictures!
