Ollie @ 7 weeks

and cake and chocolate, and they all are good enough for me.  i have had a heck of a sweet tooth since ollie's birth.  it seems unfair that at one of the most critical times to have a healthy diet, i have unbelievable cravings to stave off.  and frankly, i haven't been very successful.  i don't think i've experienced this before.  there are other times in my life where i've craved junk food, particularly when i was working and going to school.  it seems like its the exhaustion that does it.  and really, i've never experienced sleep deprivation like this before.

that said, ollie is finally sleeping more!  the last couple of nights he's only gotten up twice for feeding, allowing me to sleep more than i have in about 8 weeks.  it's amazing how significant it feels to get that extra 1-2 hours of sleep; i needed less sugar and even was motivated to get a work out in.  fingers crossed that we all continue to get some more sleep in the weeks to come.

this week, ollie turns 8 weeks old.  i can't believe how quickly our days are flying by and how much he's changing every day.  most recently, he's started to coo and talk with us.  when i sing to him, he likes to coo along.  logan and i are loving the special interactive experiences that we get to have with him now.  we can't wait to see what comes next.
