catch up

i am basically playing catch-up in the worst of ways. i set up this blog while i was still pregnant as a way to document this monumental time and to stay connected to out of town relatives, which is basically everyone! work just happened. life just happened. baby just happened...4 weeks early. and here i am, with a two month old, wanting to share EVERY big thing that happened, while it was happening, BUT plans don't always play out the way that you've worked them in your head. so, whenever i find that picture that captures the moment and i have to share, i'm posting it.

leica looks so tiny next to that tiny bottle. he was 3 days old and had just graduated from the NICU.

the awesome cradle cheryl, dustin's mom, is letting us use. she and dustin's dad, mike, built this cradle when she was pregnant with dustin. it has rocked many kids since january 1980.

leica and coot.

 grandma barbie and leica. he's doing his first leica power fist.

again, i marvel at how tiny leica was. he's swaddled in two blankets and they wrapped around him twice. just dustin's nose is as big as little newborn leica.

leica's favorite spot.

 the sling.

he is only a baby, but baby's can sometimes be mysterious. i have found a few of leica's kryptonites. 
the sling is one.
