Day #40

Our first day alone!! Grammy Gay left at 5:00 this morning so we're now officially on our own with no one coming to rescue us anytime soon. We are ready to be on our own, but I think we'll all miss the help and the company. It's been nice to have all the grandparents here during this transition time. So to celebrate our 1st day alone we did nothing!!! Remember last night when I said things looked like spring here? Well scratch that. We had a surprise snowfall today. Only about an inch or so, but enough to put a damper on our spring spirit. I guess we'll shovel tomorrow. Adam will be excited! Both boys had excellent nights. Alden slept from 9:00 until 3:30 and then ate and went back down until 7:30. Hopefully tonight will be the same. Tonight, I swaddled him again and he went down without crying or me rocking him to sleep. I am not going to get too excited, but it would be nice to have a repeat performance of last night. Adam played all day. I thought he'd have a much more difficult time adjusting after having undivided attention for the last 6 weeks, but he did really well. We played together some, but he played by himself a lot. He even managed to take 2 naps today. We haven't done that in several days. So with all that said, I need to go wash bottles. I sure miss Abrahm doing that job. When Adam was a baby that was always his job. One little (okay maybe not so little) guy sure can go through a lot of bottles! We miss you Daddy!!!
