3rd week...Fussy

So...we would have posted sooner, but I've been waiting for a better time to post. We've been struggling with our sleeping schedules this last week. Simon is the best...but when he looks straight at you and cries from 3 to 5 in the morning, you've changed his diaper 3 times, he's not hungry, and won't take the binky...you really test the love.

We've started making greater sacrifices to not disturb Simon when he sleeps. There's nothing worse than getting him asleep in the perfect position, and then waiting to see how long it takes before you can transfer him to the bassinet. Sometimes, it's not worth the risk of transfer, and we just crawl up into whatever position we find ourselves in. Rosa likes to still find her perfect little spot in the mess of it all. We have here a fine example of Susie taking one for the team. She pretty much took the opportunity to take a nap with Simon, and Rosa fell in where she could.

We've been getting ready for his 30 day celebration down in Pasadena with all of our family. So far we have invited our Aunts and Uncles and we should be pretty full at the tables at that point. We plan on having the baby blessing done in my parents' home in Pasadena this Saturday (the 19th). Cary's flying in after his Elder's Quorum camp-out...we're driving down Thursday afternoon.

We've got a couple of other pictures. A couple of things that we try to do to keep him calm is swaddle him in a sling (some times I like to carry him in it and tell him, "Simon, I've got your a$$ in a sling") The other thing we do is take on a long ride in his car seat. As you can see, some times he doesn't look like he's going to enjoy the ride.
