Truth be told, I can't get enough of this little guy. I feel guilty when I write in the blog and he is awake - or even when he is asleep because I love to hold him. One of the best feelings is Roark's head on my chest.
He is staying up for most of the day and sleeping for the most part through the night... (I'm going to miss the mid-night feedings because it is our special John Denver time...) It is really a great feeling when he makes eye contact with me and smiles...then farts. I know he loves me.
Tomorrow he will be 7 weeks old - where does the time go? From a developmental standpoint he is making eye contact, following you around with his eyes, has great facial expressions and then his grip. He has a killer grip - just about ripped my lips off the other day - and when I do hold him on my chest and he wraps his little arm on me (I call it warm snuggies)- it is one of the best hugs after (his dad also gives AWESOME hugs - I hate to get sappy but in all honesty Erik's hugs cure everything...kinda like Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer Chuck Norris).
This past weekend, my Aunt T.C. and cousin Therese came in to town to celebrate my aunt's birthday. Also, Therese is a professional photographer so she did a photoshoot with Roark, and my nieces. I dressed him in the outfit below...he was ready to party - then he had a mighty blowout.

On Sunday, Allie, Roark, Erik, and I all went to the Museum of Science and Industry...my favorite museum in Chicago. Granted, as a child I was not a fan of museums...As you can see from the photo below - Roark likes it too:

Yes, I dress my kid up in costumes. He will not be happy with me when he gets older...but he is so cute - I can't help by dress him up. The pets seem to be relieved as they are no longer my target to dress up...although I am thinking of dressing them up as reindeer...
