week 1: rocky peyton

one of my favorite things about having Rocky around, so far - besides EVERY.DAMN.THANG';) - is Homer going up to Rocky to 'feel his cheekers' and saying: "Rocky Peyton, you are soooooo cute!!!". I mean. Then I died:) For the most part, Homer refers to him as Rocky Peyton. Not JUST Rocky...Rocky Peyton and it's just about the best thing I've ever heard:)

week one with Rocky has been prettyyyyyy awesome. Knock.On.Wood;) I know how these things can change on a dime...but so far we're all super happy - except during the hours of 5-7PM when my 2 elders HATE LIFEEEEEEEEEEEE. OTHER THAN THAT - am I still yelling? Cause that happens a lotttttt between FIVE AND SEVENNNNNNNN!!! ;) 

let it be known: I officially hate this time of year. The darkness...not good.

rocky sleeps like a normal baby. Which we haven't had since Homer...in 2012! Theo had already rocked our worlds by day7...or was just beginning to. Where you start to realize them not sleeping isn't a fluke...it's like...their THING. But Rocky's thing is being cool as a cucumber and sleeping and nursing like a little champ and being super cute. Pretty annoying shit all around;)

he weighed 7lbs15oz on the way out and weighed in at 8lbs5oz on day6 of his life. Boom:)

with it being hunting season and my husband being into that sorta thing;), tomorrow is opening morning and will also be my first day alone...with all 3 kids - scaryyyyyy face. I'm honestly not too nervous about that. We have coffee planned with my sister. I also have plans to have her give him his first bath:) 

(FREE MOM ADVICE COMIN' IN HOTT: come up with fun 'traditions', like having your sister give your baby it's first bath while you Christmas Shop online and throw back coffee at HER house;). 

And my mom will be taking one or both, Homer and Theo, with her on a quick run to do errands...so I'm guessing my first day will only really include nap-time and a few hours before Jacob walks back through the door. Phew;) I'm not exhausted already;)

in conclusion: Rocky Peyton is perfection:)
