Going on 5 days!

I can't believe as of Thursday at 3:45, we will have had Tate for 5 days! It has flown by! I even think he's changed since we met him! He is more beautiful every second it seems! He is such a wonderful baby. Tonight is the first night that he is sleeping in his crib. We have had him in a bassinet in our bedroom and it's so tough to sleep that way. I find myself constantly checking on him with every peep, and when there are no peeps for a while, I want to check on him to make sure he's okay!

We love Tate so much! He has changed our lives in a way that we never knew he could! He has made us love so deeply in a way we didn't know exhisted. Also, he has taught us that we can survive on only an hour or two of sleep a night for several nights in a row and still be able to smile all day long! I used to think that I could barely survive on anything less than 6 to 8 hours! :) Sean and I will never be the same. The topics that we get most excited talking about are things like how big of a poop he made today, or how many ounces he's eating now or how cute he looks in his pj's! He has also made me fall in love with Sean even deeper than I loved him before! He is an AMAZING Daddy and it is the best feeling in the world to be just sitting on the couch with my two boys! I can't wait for the rest of our lives! We are a family, not just a couple! It's so surreal still!

The pictures above are of Tate's first time in his swing. He did great and seemed to really like it! He was really checking out the dangling toys and the lights! The last picture is of Tate meeting my friend, Jessica! He actually slept through the entire meeting, but he was pretty content! :)

Okay, Tate is sleeping in his crib, so I better get some sleep while I can! We are going apple picking in Wisconsin this weekend (Tate's first vacation! :)), so believe me, I will have plenty of pictures to post next week I am sure!
