Christmas & 6 week mark

Well, James made it through his first Christmas. He was awake most of the time and everyone got a chance to enjoy him. My Mom bought him a Santa outfit for Christmas and we put it on him. He didn't like it as he fussed and cried alot of the time he was wearing it.



James has also reached his 6 week mark. At this time he shared his first smile and laugh with his father. Immediately after that he stared at himself in the mirror for 1 hour. It was such a sweet moment. James is also sleeping 4-5 hours through the night straight now and going longer between feeds. This is making night time a little easier as we can get some rest.
I am doing better for the most part. My overwhelming moments seem to last hours instead of a day or so.


Enjoy some of the pics below:

What an adorable Santa, albeit not a very happy one! :) I love the photo of him with your dad - he looks like a little elf (but in a Santa suit!?!)
Glad things are going better - and sorry I didn't make it out there before we left! :( Maybe you can bring James into town for lunch!? :)

What a cutie!!!! I'm glad things are going better. It's amazing what a little sleep can do, eh?! I hope he continues to sleep more and more at night.
