Me almost looking normal again and my gorgeous baby.

Memorial Day Weekend

Memorial Day weekend was very busy here at the Alberts house hold. My husband spent his entire weekend working outside in the yard so that our deck and pool can be ready for use this summer. He power washed the deck and front porch, stain and sealed the deck, and open and clean the pool. He finally got out for a bit on his motorcycle today, which was more than deserved!!! Our son and I got out for a little bit too! We went to grandpa and grandma Mueller's house for a picnic on Sunday, walked up and down the street both Sunday and Monday, and uncle Bob came over to visit for a little while as well.
Our son will definitely not want for anything when he gets older. He will be able to enjoy our yard and pool, he will be able to make trips to the Alberts cabin in Pennsylvania, ride horse's at grandpa Mueller's, go to grandma Dresp's campground, and eventually ride four wheelers and dirt bikes! He will be four weeks old tomorrow May 27th and before you now it he will be running around crazy with more then enough to keep him happy and having fun!

T.G.I.Fridays

Well we made it through in one piece!!! I took my son to Fridays for dinner yesterday. I was leery about taking him out to a restaurant because it was unfamiliar territory for me. All I could think to myself was, what if he starts crying, what if I have to change his diaper, what if I need to feed him etc... But then I thought, I can't stay locked up in the house for ever so we went for it!!! We made it through dinner with flying colors he never even woke up. This was not his first outing. His first big outing was when he was about a week and half old. He went to grandpa and grandma Mueller's house for Mother's Day. He was extremely well behaved that day too! To me, he is a little angel!

Three Weeks Old!

It is so hard to believe that my baby was three weeks old yesterday. He is growing each and everyday and is the most beautiful thing that has ever happened to me! He has begun to sleep through the night for the most part. He wakes up to eat at 3a.m. and then again at 6a.m. and then pretty much sleeps until he feels like being awake for the day! We haven't really done much lately except enjoy our time together at home.

Swing and Pacifier

I was told by more than one grandparent that I need to stop picking up the baby every time he cries. As a new mom, that is very hard to do! But it was time for me to toughen up a bit so today when he started crying I put him in the swing with his pacifier. I have attempted to do this before but always gave in the first time he would start to cry. I told myself that I was not going to do that today and I didn't! He did cry today but I just kept on talking to him while putting the pacifier back in his mouth. Eventually, he gave in!!! Yeah mom!!!

I guess I will leave the spoiling to the grandparents!!!
