Best part of your week? Once we can get him to sleep, Nolan does four hour stretches at night, which is really nice!
Worst part of your week? He has been inconsolable again today. He has been eating every hour this morning and just wouldn't go to sleep! I finally get him to sleep and then put him down and he wakes up again. He was sleeping on my chest earlier though and that was nice :-)
Milestones? He is good at lifting his head while on his tummy. He is already pretty strong!
PIP those kiddos! Here's a pic of him when DH was trying to calm him down the other night when he was screaming. He looked so unamused!
What are your Memorial Day plans? Do you/your LOs dress up in red, white, and blue for holidays like Memorial or Independence Day? I don't usually dress up, but will probably dress Nolan up. We usually just go watch fireworks for Independence Day. I wanted to go to the grocery store today (I know, I am so exciting!), but since he is wanting to eat so often, it doesn't look like I will be able to go :-(

Anything else you would like to add or PIP? I posted this on FB shortly after the announcement pic.

The girl clothes were all pink and glittery and ok pretty awesome. BUT the boy section was all, "Daddy's first mate" and "Future genius".
WTF? Why weren't there any future geniuses in the girls' section?? A girl can be a first mate too... ::grumble::

Worst part of your week? Having Lexi witness the accident.
Milestones? I'm guessing if you can count how she is coping with the death of her dog, I guess that could be a milestone. She is really understanding, but it breaks my heart when she shows her emotions.
