One Month Old!

It is hard to believe but Archer is one month old today! It certainly does not seem like it has been one whole month to me. I figure that is because I was kind of a zombie for the first two weeks of his life, so that is why it feels like it went by so fast. So what is he doing so far in month one? Well, he sleeps...eats...and poops a lot. He is starting to be able to see/ follow objects a little better. He also recognizes mommy and daddy's voice and responds by turning his head. He has got a pretty good schedule going and sleeps about four hours at a time at night, which mommy is VERY thankful for. Weight wise? Well, he is gaining weight by leaps and bounds. He is ten pounds last time we checked, four days ago...and I am sure he is quickly making his way past that. So far so good, but we still have a lot to learn!

First Road Trip to Kentucky

Well, the Disney family had another first this weekend. We headed out on our first road trip with the little man. I figured it would be a very daunting task, seeing as Archer is only 3 1/2 weeks old...but we figured why the heck not? Plus, it was wonderful chance to see Nick's grandparents as well as go to the Kentucky Derby Festival, something I absolutely love doing. I am pleased to report that Archer's round trip (16 hours of driving time total) turned out very well! He slept for most of it, which helped things. He did get fussy after about 5 or so hours so that seems to be his limit. I was very pleased at how well he did. He LOVED meeting his Great Grandparents and his Great Uncle Kevin. We had a wonderful weekend and hope to be back for a visit soon, next time maybe we will fly!
