Life is continuing to progress in my world. The days go by really quickly and sometimes it doesn’t feel like I have nearly enough time to actually spend with Bo. There is always something going on or something that needs to be done. Maybe one day I will come to the realization that being busy is never going to end!
Bo’s schedule varies a little each day but overall he is doing really well. He is working on sleeping through the night and we’ve had a few nights where he has actually made it. We have been putting him down around 8 and most nights he makes it until at least 3 before he needs to eat — two nights this week he made it until 6! He has been awaking up for the day a bit later — usually around 8 or 8:30 so that has modified our schedule a bit but I want to make sure he has plenty of rest. I definitely can’t complain — he does really well for an 8 week old!
The cats have been great with Bo around. Having a screen door on the nursery has worked out really well and for the most part they just leave him alone. The only big change is they are much more lovey when they have the opportunity to be with us without Bo. Reagan and Lincoln have both been cuddling with me like crazy at night. One under each arm! Some nights I wake up and I’m afraid I’ve fallen asleep holding Bo — then I realize it’s a cat! Yesterday morning Reagan stayed on my side of the bed even after I was up and about for the day. My poor cats — having a baby in the house hasn’t made them any less spoiled!

I’ve been trying to fit in a little time for myself every day. Some days I don’t succeed but I am trying. I want to start to exercise but that hasn’t happened yet! Hopefully soon! I love to read so I have been trying to read at least a little bit each day and usually I read during Bo’s nighttime feeding. I am also trying to build my knowledge of photography. I want to really capture Bo’s childhood in photos as well as learn more about it so I can be a better photography teacher for my yearbook girls. I ordered the videos off of Me Ra Koh’s site (Thanks to Leslie for refering me to Me Ra!) and so far I am really impressed. I would love to do one of her workshops…
It seems like I spend a lot of time uploading and labeling pictures. Does anyone have a good system for organizing all of the pictures I have been taking? If you do I’d love to hear about it!

All of these pictures were taken over the last two days — I swear, my child does have more than one outfit!!
