After a whirlwind of wonderful family visits, Matt and I get a short break until Minnesota friends arrive May 3. It has been great to have help with the household tasks, shopping, meals, and baby care. Matt and I got to go on a date to see a Shane & Shane (Christian acoustic guitar group that is awesome!!) concert while Auntie Abby babysitted!
Mark continues to grow and change--he's now 6.5 weeks old! Last week he weighed 9lbs 6oz and was 21" long. I swear he's starting to smile on purpose (not just when he has gas) and can bat his hands at hanging toys. His quiet alert awake times are so much fun--I was even able to give him a bath today without him crying!
I uploaded photos to FlickR from Matt's parents' (Joe & Ellen) visit and my sister Abby's visit. That will have to do for now until I find more time. :)
