I've already posted this photo but in black&white, but I also love it in color. It is one of my favorites.

Today was Leo's two week check up (but he is actually almost three weeks). When he was born, he weighed 7 lbs 9 oucnes. Today he weighed 9lbs 1.3 ounces! I can't believe he has gained almost two whole pounds! And I was worried that he wasn't getting enough to eat! The doc was really happy about how he is doing so I guess we have nothing to really worry about.

I love being a mom. It is so fun. However, I do wish that more sleep was apart of it. I'm really tired today. Leon didn't sleep very well which of course means the same for me. He likes to wake up everytime I put him in his cradle. Oh well, we'll work it out. Honestly, it doesn't bother me all that much right now. Sometimes it is hard but I didn't expect it to be easy.

Kyle and I are going to go look at a house tonight. We orginally weren't going to start looking until the end of March/beginnning of April, but this house is in floreclosure and may go off the market soon. Kyle really loves it. He has actually gone and walked around it. From the photos, I also think it looks really cool. However, I have my doubts. I've always wanted to buy a house and fix it up, but now with a little baby to take care of I wonder if I would have the time and energy to put into it. I am going to be open minded though because I really don't know what condition it is in. It is in a great location and in a great neighborhood where the houses are selling for a lot more. It is fun to dream about what all we could do but I'm also trying to be realistic about everything. But like I said, I'm going to stay open minded...I'm also house hungry, so that helps too.
