Nearly 5 weeks

Hard to believe that the baby is already almost 5 weeks old. Time flies when you're sleep deprived. We're still working on getting a reasonable schedule figured out. I've realized that her wake/sleep cycles are fairly similar to what they were in the womb. Really, that shouldn't be so surprising, right?

Both the boys are still being very sweet and gentle with her. I sure hope that lasts. Liam is constantly asking if he can hold the baby. I managed to get this photo of the two of them together. Our camera is working hit or miss these days, and lately it's been more miss than hit.

Liam's been making some strides in doing new things. He recently figured out how to tie his shoes. We've been trying to get him to do it for a while, but he is insistent on figuring things out on his own and wouldn't let anyone show him how to do it. He's also got two new adult teeth that have poked through behind his baby teeth. Momma thinks a visit to the dentist is in order.

There is some knitting progress that I have to show you all, but I haven't had a chance to snap pictures of it yet. The baby blanket is coming along very nicely, and I'm nearly ready to seam and put the border on.

Today is hubby's birthday. Money is tight, so we've decided not to do much of anything except maybe order out dinner.

And finally, here is a sampling of some of the pictures I took this morning while the camera was behaving...
