5 1/2 Weeks Old

Our sweet little boy is almost 6 weeks old.  Time is flying!  A lot has changed since the last post.  Joshua is getting so big.  It seems like he's getting longer, but I think it's just that he isn't scrunched up in the fetal position anymore.  He is also getting some chub on him.  That could be because he wants to eat so much!  He has started smiling some.  It's awesome!  I just love it when his whole face lights up when he smiles!  It melts my heart.  He definitely still rules our household.  The world seems to revolve around him.  He determines our schedule and what we do each day.  I still haven't learned how to keep up with every day chores and cleaning the house having him around, but we don't mind that for now.  I guess when the house gets too bad we'll have to do something about it.  He has been staying awake a lot more during the day, and he loves to play on his play mat.  I have ventured out several times with him by myself.  It's been really nice to get out of the house.  Joshua hasn't met some of his great-grandparents or his aunt Tabitha's family, so this weekend we are going away over night for the first time to see them.  It should be an adventure!  That's all I have time for right now.  We will try and update the flickr page with some new pictures soon!
